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

Hope this helps. Cheers.

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..

Complete the following steps to create e-mail filters on My T-Mobile for BlackBerry® Internet E-mail:
From a computer, log in to My T-Mobile.
NOTE: The filters of BIE cannot be set from the handheld. It must be done from the Web site.
From MESSAGING, click SET UP BLACKBERRY INTERNET E-MAIL.
In the left hand panel, click E-mail Accounts.
From the list of e-mail accounts, click the Filters icon beside the desired e-mail account.

Click the Add Filter link to begin creating an e-mail filter.

Examine the options in the Add Filter screen and carefully plan out a desired filter.

Perform the following to enter the necessary information for the filter:
Filter name: This can be anything that is descriptive of what the filter does.
From the Apply filter when drop-down, select one of the following:
New mail arrives
A high-priority mail arrives
“From” field: Filtering based on who is sending e-mail.
NOTE: Insert multiple e-mail addresses by separating them with ; (semi-colons).
“Subject” field: Filtering based on text content in subject line of incoming e-mail.
“To” field contains
NOTE: Filters using ‘To’ field contains’ and “Cc’ field contains’ do not apply to Microsoft® Exchange/Outlook Web Access (OWA) and Domino/iNotes.
“CC” field contains
Select one of the following:
Forward messages to handheld
Header only
Level 1 notification
Do not forward messages to handheld: Stops e-mails caught by this filter.
Click Add Filter.
Note that the filter name appears in the filters list.

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

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 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.

On your blackberry only setup the account for your blackberry email (not gmail). On the blackberry account make the reply to address your gmail account name. Also on the blackberry account – create a filter so mail from your gmail account (when you are sending from your pc) is not sent to the device.

Under gmail settigs – forward all incoming mail to your blackberry account but create a filter so that any incoming mail received from you (from your gmail account) is archived instantly (these are copies of messages you send from your blackberry account so you can keep your sent messages from the device on gmail as well).

Am kinda interested in getting a blackberry… I only use the gmail account, and i dont have any other email, my question is, What do i have to do exactly to make my blackberry so it could receive emails directly as emails are recieved to my gmail… in other words, when i recieve an email to my gmail, i would like to see a new message on my blackberry.

thank you

I have a nother problem with GMAIL and BLACKBERRY. I have configured my GMAIL to archive all forwarded mail. The problem then is that my BLACKBERRY will not sincronize. All the e-mails are shown as my BLACKBERRY INBOX untill I delete it. Is there some way I can archive it in GMAIL and not have to manually delete every message with my BLACKBERRY?

Cheers!!!

-Both my gmail messages and messages from my enterprise account are showing up in the “messages” screen. I have a separate view where I can see just my gmail, but no way to just see my enterprise mail.. any thoughts?

-As Mista mentioned above, when I send a message using gmail, the sent copy shows up in my blackberry inbox as a new message.. hmmm

Thanks.
