Do we know which services e-mail BIS works well with and which ones it either does not work well with or doesn't work at all.

I know it works well with Google's gmail. Anyone know about AIM/AOL, MSN, Yahoo!, ICQ?

Sorry, only one I use is Gmail, like you said works very well. I hear Yahoo is decent but I also have heard that Hotmail is a pain.

I use both Gmail and Yahoo Mail Plus. While they both work, I find Yahoo much faster and more reliable. When an incoming mail arrives in my Yahoo inbox, it also appears at the very same instant on my BB, simply fantastic.

Also I find that Yahoo is more reliable when I choose to delete an email from the device, it immediately deletes it from my Yahoo inbox as well. So, although I really like Gmail, from my experience Yahoo is the better of the two.

Have you upgraded to BIS 2.0? My Gmail shows up instantly and deletes instantly since I've upgraded.

UForgot to add that MSN is not supported. I think tmobile has a FAQ about it.
