***Edit March 2009 by John Clark*** BIS 2.6 was released and has fixed this duplicate problem. If you are having this issue remove your gmail from your BIS account and re-add it to update to the 2.6 release.

Hey guys I thought this was a family rated site? haha

Your email addy is showing in step 3's image...FYI Figured you might want to know, since you went through all the trouble of blacking out all the others. Thanks for the how to man!

thanks for the detailed tip- but if i actually want a copy of my sent emails sent to my device when i compose a message in gmail, how would I do that? thanks!

I've got a better idea about those sent emails. Instead, why not have Gmail fwd every email directly to your BIS email, whatever that is for your server. That way you receive your emails immediately and you can still POP them from outlook if you like. You have the added bonus of not caring about whether or not your emails in BIS or your handheld are there or not (ie, you can delete easily).

Thanks for noticing...not THAT big of a deal, but figured there's no reason to broadcast it. Not like I wouldn't give it out if someone needed it anyway.

That would be something you'd want to set up IN your G-mail...I believe that it's just a setting where you can Bcc yourself when you send an e-mail.

I believe that method only works on the cingular BIS... tmobile, sprint, dont' have that option

Thanks. I'm using this with my Pearl on Rogers Wireless.

FYI
Using BIS registered gmail account my BB gets the message BEFORE it shows up on my screen. faster than instant. Now that what I call 'push tech'

I don't think many would agree with you...so far as I've been able to tell, many people, from many different carriers, have had success with this method.

That works too...However, with that method you don't have the ability to reconcile wirelessly with your gmail inbox.

your right, I just did some tests with different providers and it works... great post!!

how do u get a BIS?

works perfect with t-mobile! thanks!

thanks for the information

Thank you Pizzle! Worked great!
I was wondering why I kept seeing so many email's to my own gmail? Duh!@#$ ;)

BIS = blackberry internet service
used to be called webclient

if you got a BB and got service on it, and not on one that your company gave you or something that is locked down by a BES (BIS != BES) then all you have to do is setup a BIS account online. The URL varries from carrier to carrier but if you do not know yours you can go to

the blackberry website slash support/client/index.shtml (i dont have enough posts to insert URLs yet)

and look at the bottom under accessing the blackberry internet service website section for the link to your carrier

Thanks works great!

Thanks, I needed that.

thank you

Happy to help, folks. Glad this is of use to everyone.

Thanks Pet Pizzle, information was what i needed.

You can also download the new GMail app for BlackBerry. The old version was web based and this new one is an actual appl Very quick, and allows you to send email from the "other email address" option in Gmail (something you can't do when you IMAP GMail.

See: GMail for Mobile

So what can I do if my company uses a BES?

You can still set up other BIS accounts while on a BES UNLESS your company specifically blocks that feature. Some do, some don't. Try and see or call your IT department and ask.

Gmail worked perfectly for a few months, but now I get copied on every e-mail I send. I tried the fix above, but couldn't do it. Can anybody help? (Please!)

I have a 8700 with T-Mobile and BES. I logged on at MyTMobile.com, but when I clicked on Set Up E-mail, I got this error message:

We apologize, you do not have access to the My E-mail service.
Please use the e-mail solution provided with your wireless handheld.

If I use the Setup Internet Email icon on my BB, I can change things like my username and password, but it doesn't give the options mentioned in the op.

What now?


Thanks,

Luke

Your post reminded me that I deleted my gmail accounts and reactivated them, thus losing my sent items fileter. I just logged on and set them up again with no issues. You might call TMobile and see what they say.

You can attempt to setup a filter on you actual GMail account on a PC, to autoarchive items sent from your email account. You get to this by clicking the 'Settings' link in the top right corner, and then 'Filters' on the resulting page. Be careful when playing around with these settings though and only send test emails until you figure out what it is actually doing. Whatever you do, don't check the box that says to apply the new filter to all of the emails listed. I made the mistake of doing that when I had the filter set to delete emails from my account and all of the emails that I ever sent were deleted from my email account, not cool considering I had sent some to myself for specific reasons.

Thanks. I'll try fiddling with the filters.

Luke

how would you do this for verizon tho???

gracias.....did that for mine now as well

The same way as above. You just need to log into your Verizon BIS.

Pet Pizzle as a thank you

I logged onto my gmail account from my desktop computer and added a filter to autoarchive all messages from my e-mail address (me@gmail.com).

It didn't help. I still receive a copy on my BBerry of every message I send, whether it's sent from my BB or my desktop.

Any other suggestions? I really appreaciate the help.


Luke

The filter above has nothing to do with logging into your Gmail. Log into your Blackberry Internet Service, and set it up from there. Like the screenshots in the OP.

Worked perfect for me on T-Mobile. Thanks, Pizzle

I have another Gmail problem.

When someone sends an email to my gmail acct, I receive TWO emails on my handheld (both are the same exact email).

Could this be because I forward my gmail acct directly to my blackberry.net email?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Did you set it up through BIS AND forward from GMail? If you set it up through BIS you dont need to forward from GMail.
