Okay people I have decoded the GMail installation procedures. These instructions are to download the latest version v2.0.6 of GMail.
I did not see this posted previously, so I apologize if this has already been covered.
Google organizes its software in folders based on your OS version...
Examples:

m.google.com/app/v2.0.6/L1/BlackBerry-41/

The "BlackBerry-41" folder is correlated to your OS.
So, with that in mind, let's begin.
1) You need to figure out our BlackBerry's OS version. Once you've done that you can proceed to downloading the GoogleMail.jad file.
2) To figure our your GoogleMail.jad file, you will need to use the following decoder to figure out the folder.
OS Version 4.0 to 4.1, use the folder BlackBerry-40
OS Version 4.1 to 4.2, use the folder BlackBerry-41
OS Version 4.2 to 4.3, use the folder BlackBerry-42
OS Version 4.3 to 4.6, use the folder BlackBerry-43
OS Version 4.6 to 4.7, use the folder BlackBerry-46
OS Version 4.7 to 5.0, use the folder BlackBerry-47
So, let's say you are running OS version 4.5, you will use the following URL to download your GoogleMail.jad file:

m.google.com/app/v2.0.6/L1/BlackBerry-43/GoogleMail.jad

3) Now you need to open the GoogleMail.jad file using a text editor. You should see something like this:

I have bolded the lines you are interested in. The number of .cod files will vary based on your OS.
Make sure you download all of them.
The URL to download those files are:

m.google.com/app/v2.0.6/L1/BlackBerry-43/filename
|
Download all the .cod files and put them all in the same folder.
4) Now you need to create your own .alx file. I recommend using a text editor like notepad. Make sure your .alx file is located in the same folder as your .cod files!
In our above example for OS 4.5 there's a total of
six .cod files. Therefore, we need to reference all
six .cod files in our .alx file.
Sample .alx file-
Quote:
<loader version="1.0">
<application id="Gmail:Google">
<name>Gmail</name>
<description></description>
<version>2.0.6</version>
<vendor>Google</vendor>
<copyright></copyright>
<fileset Java="1.0">
<files>
GoogleMail-5.cod
GoogleMail-4.cod
GoogleMail-3.cod
GoogleMail-2.cod
GoogleMail-1.cod
GoogleMail.cod
</files>
</fileset>
</application>
</loader>

I've bolded the parts you need to pay attention. Make sure that the
<version>2.0.6</version> is the same as the version of Google Mail you've downloaded. Then add in the .cod filenames as indicated above.
5) You're done. You should be able to install now.
