    I'm a new BB 8330m owner on Sprint network. Been using WM6.1 for the past few years. I've read a couple of threads about slow push email but I'm not sure I quiet understand. Does the BIS just check for new emails every 15 minutes?

    I currently have 3 accounts, hotmail, gmail and work (OWA). From what I've read, if I set up a 1 or 2 accounts to forward my emails to the bb.net email address I will get email instantly but will only be able to use 1 reply address?

    How many people here get their emails instantly? Right now I don't think my gmail account is working. Help please!

    I know gmail is instant for me but my home acct just checks every 15 mins which is fine for me.

    Is your account set up on BB Internet Service? Also do you have the BB gmail app installed?

    I have two GMail accounts on my Storm. Today I noticed that the second one takes about 6 minutes to receive emails... The primary GMail account is instant... Any ideas? Its not a huge problem, I'm just curious.

    I figured out how to get my gmail to receive instantly. Set up gmail account for IMAP and in the BIS site do a custom setup and use the imap.gamil.com server. Works great, now I need to get hotmail working that way but not sure it's possible.

    Both accounts are already configured to use IMAP so I think the problem is somewhere else, and it is only one of the two Google accounts. As for hotmail I don't think they offer free IMAP only free POP3.
