Well not really it depends on your set-up. I currently have about 10 different email addresses (different work addresses, personal addresses, legacy addresses etc...) all FORWARDING directly to my GMAIL account were everything is parsed, filtered, and labled accordingly. From there select mail is filter-forwarded to my BB from gmail and a copy is saved on gmail. I can then use either my BB or the gmail webclient interface to respond to mail. The new advantage with the gmail interface is that I can spoof my "FROM:" header so that it is any one of my other email addys. Now I never need to ever log into any of my old accounts. It works great for my needs.

i must say using Gmail as a paSS threw works great. No way i would ever POP again. Here is my question with most free web-based email services if you don't login in after a certain period of time they kill the account. Does anyone know if Gmail does the same

i have had my gmail account since it started and didnt use it for nearly a year or more actually till about 3 weeks ago when this thread started

I was reading the FAQs on gmail and they say 90 days.

There is always a delay whether it is 1 minute or upto 15minutes depends on the polling cyle you catch your account in, but there is always a delay and that stinks. Try instant forward and you will never touch pop again. West side beyaches!

Forwarding email to my blackerry from my gmail account has been working for months (I use the filters method - and do NOT use gmail forwarding). My settings are as follows:

Matches: in:inbox
Do this: Forward to

It has been working great for months, but for some reason last night and this morning it has not been working. Can anyone help me out? I appreciate the help in advance!

[dkf747]

Not working this morning for me either. Probably just a temporary thing.

[Dawg]

working just fine here

Forwarding isn't working here either since 5:45pm EST yesterday. I did get one message 5 hrs after the fact, but that's it. Maybe a huge backlog on GMail's end?

I'm having the same problem as of 9ish EST last night. Last email that I got in was at 8:46pm. If I send an email to the BB from my corporate account it comes in just fine, but if I send manually (or forwarding) from ANY gmail account - the BB Web Clenit doesn;t get it and the BB doesn't get it either.

Could blackberry.net possibly be blacklisting gmail.com..?

This might need a new thread...

what carrier are you all on?
I just sent a message to one of my accounts i have forwarded to gmail I sent at 925 am est and recieved in less than 1 minute later im on nextel

[jacklarkin]

Not working for me either -- I'm on Rogers in Canada.


Looks like it stopped forwarding sometime after 6PM EDT last night.

[Dawg]

there is also another thread on this same exact subject just sent another test email to a different gmail account 30 seconds and it was on my bb

[mjp3475]

cingular here

i have mine set to forward via a filter. is everyone who is having issues using a filter or the "generic" forwarding option in gmail?

[ventmore]

Not working here either...from any gmail account. I'm on t-mobile uk.

Some of you may remember this happened a month or so back too.

Hmmmm...the test email I sent has just turned up and proved me a liar...only from one of my accounts though...also, it's taken around 5 mins...normally it's less than a minute.

[jbsooner]

What I don't like is that the messages are not threaded in gmail anymore once you forward them. Is there anyway around this?

This is how I have things set up on my device. However, (and I have searched to no end) I am unable to foward messages from my device. For Instance, I receive and email on my device, I try to forward that email to another contact. The little check mark appears for a split second to tell me that it was sent but after that split second the red X appears and it does not forward. Anyone have any ideas as to why this could be. I have a feeling I have something set up wrong but I have things set according to the descpription above.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Who is your provider, did you buy it used, could there be apolicy set on it from a previous user, what model do you have? I have a 7250 and I am able to forward, and I do not think that there is any setting that will not let you whithin the BB itself. My last suggestion would be to back it up and try to do a javaloader wipe, reload the newest handheld software and restore your data in case there is some corruption.
