Hey guys I thought this was a family rated site? :razz: 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. 8-)

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

block gmail sent items/worked great!
 

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!
