I have searched, but can't find the specific answers to my questions.

I currently have my Pearl set up to receive my emails that are sent to my school address (.edu). This is definetly not instantanous and takes anywhere from 10-25 minutes which I here is normal.

I have also read and heard that if I set up a Gmail account, I will receive my emails near instantly.

My question is...do I just go into my email setup on my BB and delete my .edu email and add my Gmail one after making it?

If so, I have also read that you should create your Gmail account on your BB and not from your computer. Does it really make a difference?

Thanks!
