This is my problem:

I have a blackberry curve and love it. My only issue now is that with gmail, all emails that I read on a computer are not shown as being read on the blackberry and all emails that I read on the blackberry are not being shown as read on the computer. This is only a gmail issue as yahoo and other email clients work fine.

To Chrost:

I currently work for Cingular/AT&T and this is the way we set it up for our customers.

There is a blackberry website where you create a username and password, then all you do is put in your email address and password and its automatically set up with your device. Its very very easy. You get a folder on the blackberry that shows all messages in real time due to the blackberry push technology. If it wasn’t for the one issue that I posted about a few mins ago….I would have no complaints.

I am using the blackberry and I set up the Gmail account, Ggmail was delivering and delivering the same e-mails, again and again….the cell phone was ringing all the time, so I had to delete the account.
Would someone let me know how I can solve this problem…?
Many thanks,

You can configure IMAP for your Blackberry and it will sincronize. Follow the links below form Google

You can retrieve your Gmail messages with a client or device that supports IMAP, like Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail.

If you receive duplicate e-mail on the handheld when sending a message via Google Gmail™, create a filter from your BlackBerry® Internet E-mail account (BIE) to resolve the issue:
From a computer, create an e-mail filter for BIE.
Enter information in the filter to avoid receiving duplicate e-mail on the handheld when sending a message via Google Gmail.
EXAMPLE: Follow the example below when creating a filter to avoid message duplication:

Apply filter when: “FROM” Field

This feature sucks. I hate POP3. They should should support IMAP.

POP3 basically makes your inbox one of these:
1) tons of unread emails while you read them on blackberry!
2) tons of archived emails!
3) read emails are deleted from the server and stored on BB, so if you open it via another client you won’t find them!

All in all, POP3 sucks… we need IMAP or Exchange protocols instead. Mailboxes must be in sync..

Getting sent messages/duplicate message on your Blackberry:

For those of you who have reported the problem of getting copies of email that you ahve sent from your PC on your BB device, the filter solution works but also filters any messages you cc: yourself or send to yourself.

Instead, you can do the following to avoid seeing sent messages: http://www.blackberry.com/newsletters/connection/business_solutions/dec-2006/tips-and-tricks.shtml?cp=NLC-32
