    I've got a Curve 8330 with a Sprint unlimited plan which includes BIS.
    I love everything about this phone, but for one thing. I can not get the email to be IMAP like. If I read it and delete it on my desktop or phone I want it gone in both places. Touching anything twice is a waste of time.
    I use Google Apps for email, and have followed the awesome instructions on setting up Google IMAP, and I'm pretty sure I have that set up right. (POP is off, the server set to imap.gmail.com, etc)
    Can I do what I want? If so what do I need to change, or add to make it happen? This one waste of time is annoying enough to make me want to dump the phone.

    This is what I had to do to make this work for me, not sure if it's going to work for you as well:

    BB menu > Manage Internet Email > Email Accounts > Under Gmail choose Edit > towards the bottom of the screen you'll see: Deleted items: Synchronize deleted items between this mailbox and my device. *Choose Yes* > then Save

    At least that is what I did to mine so that when I delete an email from my device it deletes from my actual Gmail (vice versa). So far it's working pretty well for me.

    mcspiffy6 thanks for writing back. Where are you referring to here: BB menu > Manage Internet Email > Email Accounts > Under Gmail choose Edit > towards the bottom of the screen you'll see: Deleted items: Synchronize deleted items between this mailbox and my device. *Choose Yes* > then Save. I can't replicate that sequence in either the device or Sprints BIS site.
    I do have the "Synchronize deleted items between this mailbox and my device." checked on the BIS site and I think that is where you were pointing to.
