do any of you use gmail as your universal account...and get your yahoos ,etc forwarded to gmail..and then set up your gmail ONLY with your BB..

is this advised versus trying to get both your yahoo and gmail set up separately with BB --thanks

What are you trying to achive? Some people are getting too creative for their own good, and you may find plenty of those here- it does not mean you should follow their advise unless you know what you want and what you can get.

i'm trying to achieve being able to use my BB to receive yahoo emails and gmail emails

You can acheive that by polling both yahoo and gmail seperately. If you have yahoo foward to gmail, it could take two to three times longer to receive your yahoo mail.

Or set them both to forward to your bb account which would be a little faster than poling them accross pop, but im not sure if you loss the ability to reply as that address then?

I do not find that there is a lag in Yahoo mail delivery and I run it thru Gmail.

I have 4 different e-mail addys sent to gmail and they are all then instantly sent to my BB with the filtering setup on Gmail. Why POP when you can have instant delivery?
