IMAP won't give you true two way delete and update though...the gmail app does.
The link for the gmail app is:
type into your phone: m.google.com/mail
My wife uses it and she loves it. I am on my Storm for personal email so much I have it setup as BIS and delete on both w/no confirm and it keeps my gmail clean. Only issue is the time I check email on my puter and not Storm but since I basically sleep with my Storm it has never bothered me
.01-16-09 09:38 AM - How is that the best bet for the OP? He said in his post that he is already using the GMAIL app instead of the push email. He is trying to figure out a way that he can have all the functionality of BIS (such as opening and sending attachments), perform a two-way reconcile (emails deleted from Berry also delete from server) and not have his outgoing emails CCd to him.
The best way to do this is to set up IMAP for GMAIL, which will take care of the two-way reconcile and allow you to use BIS to send and view attachments and then to set up a filter that blocks all emails with a certain address (i.e. your address) from being pushed to the Berry. Then you will not receive your own outgoing emails.
You can find instructions for both of these with a simple text search on the forums.
The only problem with the filter, which for some reason a lot of people overlook, is that if you are actually trying to send yourself an email from your main GMAIL (e.g. on your PC) to your Berry for whatever reason (I often e-mail myself complex URLs that I don't feel like typing into the Berry manually or wallpapers that I design myself but don't want to use DM to sync), then unfortunately those will be filtered out. Also, AFAIK, if you send a bunch of people an email from your PC and CC yourself for whatever reason, you will not get the email since it is filtered.
It's too bad that BIS integration with GMAIL is so trashy, but I suspect that since Storm is a consumer device, that this will improve over time.Last edited by mdude85; 01-16-09 at 09:56 AM.

Currently, as you know, the GMAIL app does not send and receive attachments, but I suspect that functionality will be added in time.
Just tested it and it works.
If you're sending yourself a link, I just send it to my @vzw.blackberry.net address.01-16-09 09:59 AM
