Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / February 2008blackberry and gmail
I'm going to buy and blackberry so that I can check my work emails when I'm out of the office. I use gmail as I sometimes work from home and I find it very useful. If I have the emailed downloaded/pushed to my blackberry will they also go to Outlook on my work pc - or do they only "download" to one device once (be it my pc or the blackberry). any help greatly appreciated.

(My Nokia 6300 does, as do all the email programs I've ever used). With that setting selected, incoming messages will stay on the server until one of the programs you use tells the server to delete them. Meanwhile, each of the email programs you use can access those messages.

The BlackBerry Internet Service does not delete mails from the mail server, so you will be able to continue using Outlook as well. With Googlemail, you can even use IMAP if you wish.

I've yet to buy the blackberry so I can't comment on the functions. What is IMAP?

What is IMAP? <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Message_Access_Protocol> The mail stays on the server, so however many mail clients you use, across many machines, you're only dealing with one set of folders - Inbox/Sent etc. >> The BlackBerry Internet Service does not delete mails from the mail >> server, so you will be able to continue using Outlook as well. >> >> With Googlemail, you can even use IMAP if you wish. > Thanks for the advice.

BIS has an IMAP client, as does Outlook, so if you access Gmail via IMAP then you'll be able to see all your mail from both devices. Bear in mind that Blackberrys aren't the only fruit - any handset [preferably 3G] with an IMAP client + data plan will do what you want.

But looking at wants available on ebay (vs. Treo for example) you seem to be able to pick up Blackberries for the best price. |
