Thanks a ton to this forum and specially to you Svelt..
I had a strong belief that this will not work.. and the alx installation failure made my belief even more stronger.
But when i used the BBSAK to install CODs.. and to my surprise it worked.. i could login, search mails, compose and all that !! So happy Gmail worked for me.. been searching for this for last 3 months now and today I feel my patience was all worth it
thanks yet again to this wonderful forum
you all rock guys !!
