Has anyone gotten gmail to work? I set it up, it pulls down the first 25 emails, then never gets another email...

thanks

I repeatedly tried to sign up my existing gmail account through xpress mail and it always said the username or password was bad. Now I just use www.4smartphone.com and use Direct Push. It's working really well.

I got it to work pretty well. You may have to adjust the update settings.

I have mine set to every 15 minutes from 7am to 10pm.

Yeah, so i've since turned off the scheduled updates. I found that every 15 minutes was way too often and the battery was dead by the time I got home in the evening. There's the Smart Power setting, but I just go to send/recieve manually every once in a while, it's been 2 days since i've charged the phone and still have full battery.

Well, the problem may be Xpressmail. I don't use it. I do check my Gmail accounts (two of them anyway) every 15 mins and have never had less than 2 bars of battery left after 24 hours. Also, my phone is also my home phone so I talk on it alot.

I recommend you use MMS to poll your Gmail account.

To set it up just goto your MMS screen and add a new account. First you need to set your gmail account to allow pop access.

The only trick to it is when it asks for your user name, use RECENT:USERNAME@gmail.com. This will alleviate the problem of old emails being removed from your BJ each time you connect to gmail's server. It will save your login information and not require it each time you connect.

Use pop.gmail.com for your incoming and smtp.gmail.com for your send

Instructions:

Goto MMS screen
Add new account
Other (pop3/imap)
Next
Enter your information on this screen and DESELECT Automatic setup
username: recent:user@domain.com
password
domain is not necessary
Next
Just hit Next on the next screen.
Incoming: pop.gmail.com - select SSL connection
Outgoing: smtp.gmail.com - select Outgoing server requires authentication
Next
Choose message age to download - I chose Today's
Choose ENTIRE MESSAGE
Next
I get mine every 15.
Next
Finish

What is MMS and how do I access it? I just bought a Blackjack 2 today.

Thank you.
