I have been using the MDA since its release on Feb. 21st and I love the phone. My problem is with GMail pop access and I don't know if it is the phone, or with GMail's POP setup. Basically, I check for new mail, and the mail is downloaded. Then, when the MDA activates another send/receive, the mail that was previously displayed on my phone disappears. Has anyone else had a similar problem with GMail POP access? I have set up my Gmail pop access with "Enable POP for all mail" and it seems like when the MDA connects to get email, the GMail settings switch to "Enable POP for all mail that arrives from now on."

I have set up this account using the "New Account" option which goes directly to GMail to get the mail, and using T-Mobile's "My E-mail" service. same problem with both.

Also, when using My E-mail, do you get charged a text message fee when T-Mobile sends the silent trigger (e-mail trigger) to your phone?

This Gmail issue happens to me too on my Cingular 8125. I cant figure out why, and its driving me crazy.

I have had the same problem. In addition, Gmail also tells my phone to download messages that I composed on the Web-Based system. I would rather not have to download all items that i sent from Gmail.com to my phone. Any way around this and the above mentioned problem?

I did set-up my g-mail as a separate account directly on my pda, with the settings provided in the gmail help. works pretty good so far. actually, I've only did one send-receive. but I will check and let you know.

Ijust bought a MDA and I am also having these problems. I called T-Mobile to find out if there was anything I could do. They said there is nothing wrong with my phone but it is a Gmail issue. They also said Gmail has acknowledged the fact that there is a problem. Im not sure what is being done about though. Has anyone figured out a fix for this yet?

Thanks
Doug

I just tried deleting the account I made through My Email and creating a seperate account through the PDA instead. It found the Gmail settings instead of the Tmobile myemail settings. I sent a test email to my gmail acct, then did a send/receive, received the email, waited a minute, then did another send/receive and the test email dissapeared. This annoying. I hope Gmail figures something out. I also have a question posted in the Gmail Help forums for this issue. No solutions yet though. I will update this thread if I hear anything.

Doug

Thanks Doug for all of the info. I also posted about this in the GMail help forums. Hopefully GMail will come out with a fix for this soon.

Yo guys,

I just found this thread on the GMail help forums and, so far, it seems to be working. Emails don't disappear now on subsequent send/receives.

"Try this... in your email program on the pda you can normally choose
between downloading the whole rmail or just the header + x K's... try
this second option with a large amount there (999K)... not the most
elegant work around, but for me it works in the sense that emails are
not anymore flushed out from the pda inbox every time I synchronize!"

Test it out, everything is working for me, so far.

Hallelujah

It works...(so far). Sunny, you are the $h!t. Thank you!! I will post here again in a few days to tell you if it is still working.

Thank you !!!!!!!!

I really like this phone but I would have went back for the Blackberry 8700g if this didnt work.

Doug

OK...one problem. If you delete an email from your Gmail inbox then send/receive to get new emails, the email you deleted from the Gmail inbox will disappear from the MDA. All others stay. I guess it's not as bad as before, but still not perfect. Don't worry Sunny, you're still the $h!t.

No prob Doug! Wanted to share the exciting news for sure! I am so freakin' happy this is finally working!

Enjoy.
