I setup my pearl today and I am having problems with Gmail. First is that there is a ~5 minute delay from when an email is sent to when it pops up.

Second is a copy of all my emails is showing up in my SMS folder. Anyone help?

That wasn't what I was reffering to. I setup the filter. All of the messages people send me are showing up in my SMS folder and Email folder.

I think it has something to do with the theme.

I have a similar issue with mine. Every time i send a GMAIL message I get a copy of it sent back to my own blackberry.

I have looked at all the settings.... its got me at a loss....

Access your email accounts via mytmobile and within your gmail account settings apply a filter so any messages with the "From" field contain your name are filtered out.

For the issue of the sent mail being sent back to you as new mail please see this post for the fix. It was posted above but I'll post again.

The fact that it shows in your "SMS" folder is merely the fact that it's not a dedicated "SMS" folder. It's a "Messages" folder where all messages, emails, sms, and mms messages get dumped. You may have a separate folder which filters out just those emails but, still, everything also dumps into the Messages folder.

Hope this helps.

Thanks John. Is there anyway to setup a seperate SMS/MMS folder? Right now I have the general messages folder and a
folder. Do you have any idea why there is such a delay when receiving messages sent to my gmail account?

I think Gmail is having issues today on some of their servers. I normally get instantaneous delivery, but for the last couple of hours, I've had a delay of 5+ minutes. It will probably work itself out. Be patient.

*edit* I just tested my account and I'm getting gmails pushed instantaneously now.

I talked to a blackberry Rep about this Issue because i did not give it much thought but i have gmail and am doing the same thing. Basically he said that the icon on the phone which says your is a link to take you directly there on the web. If you want to look at the email via gmail then use that or anything else you wanna use through gmail. The SMS folder is where things will be sent to if they are forwarded because they have to go through another filter or server or something. The e-mail is not forwarded straight to the phone. From SMS mail(where it is forwarded to) you can view and reply to any e-mail though. You can also delete the email from there and your gmail. Hope that helps.

Sorry meant to put in last thread but I do not get a delay when using gmail at all. So maybe the server is bad right now like another post put.

Not true. There are two ways to get GMail on your BB. You can set it up using the BIS (setup internet email icon.) This will give you a mail icon with on the homescreen. Your Gmail will be *pushed* to that folder automatically, and usually, almost immediately.

The other way to get GMail is to download the GMail application. This puts a "GMail" icon on your screen that opens into a mail viewer. When you open the app you must then *check* for new mail on the GMail server as it doesn't get automatically pushed to the device. I believe this is what the *Blackberry rep* was referring to. However, this is not what this thread was referring to. I believe the OP was referring to the GMail setup through BIS.

There may be one or two themes that have separate SMS folders. You'd have to change themes as there is no way to change it within the theme.

I don't know why the delay with GMail. I noticed a delay a week or so ago....some were delayed by hours. It eventually worked itself out. GMail is usually nearly instant.

Thanks, GMail seems to be working now. Still annoying that my email messages show up in my messages box.

This is how I get my Gmail and it works great. I have my work email on the BB service and my Gmail working with their app. Never had any issues.

Visit gmail.com/app on your mobile web browser.

Setting up BIS to pop email from gmail (or any other POP for that matter) usually has about a 5-10 minute delay.

Not on mine. I have experienced the delay just the other day, but that was the first one since I originally set the phone up in late September. The delay was gone an hour or two after noticing it. Now, I have no delay and delivery is immediate.
