How hard it is to figure out to put the word "GMAIL" and the work "IMAP" into a search box?

Dont enable people to not learn how to search. Enable people to use the search function. It makes for a lot of positive learning and it also shows everyone the PC way to get to things.

Does there really need to be so many threads about the same thing? Seriously one thread with all information on it and with all replies makes it much easier to find everything.

This is my personal opinion and it works very well.

My old job I setup a sharepoint server and moved every bit of information to it from DOCS to Guides to set something up. Then everytime somebody asked how to do something I pointed them to the sharepoint address and told them to search for it.

Helpdesk tickets went down over 85% and things moved along a lot faster and smoother.

Same thing could be done or something along those lines.

trust me I want people to search, but when you search "gmail" and "IMAP" threads about other things come up, not labeled correctly, its a pain in the *** to read non-sense that doesn't effect what you are looking for a trying to do, now with this one it comes up, most likely what you are looking to do, let it get lost on the board, who cares, but it will make for a more effective search for the next guy searching

Typing that in is almost as easy as typing in "BlTCHlNG" and your post coming up

Do I have to setup these settings? I never did on my other blackberries and also I simply set it up on my regular email account and it seems to work just fine.

Why would I need to use this? Can someone explain? Or was this prior to .75?

You have a ton of great info for sure. BUT sometimes we forget where we came from. We want Blackberry to grow and not be the snotty snobs I see over at BGR. I know this was an old post but I certainly found this gmail help with my first search. No insults intended toward you in any way, but come on sometimes I think we take things to serious and again we forget WE we're once new to blackberry and posting.

If you want to use IMAP, then you must configure it manually, yes. When you go through the setup wizard, and just put your email address/password, and it magically configures, it is using POP which is fine. IMAP has some added benefits though.

Yes, does this REALLY fix the read/unread problem?

I think the OP should post this, because as he said the thread titles always suck.

It isn't worth drifting through pages of "OMG GMAIL WONT WORK FRUSTRATING"

AFAIK, there's a few reasons to use IMAP over the gmail app. Keep in mind, I last used the gmail app 2 months ago, so things very well may have changed:

1. The gmail app has a lag in terms of receiving mail whereas IMAP is virtually instantaneous.
2. You can attach files to the native mail app, you cannot do this with the gmail app
3. IME, the gmail app had to be on the homescreen. I would constantly miss new mail because the native notifier on the homescreen does not tie in with the gmail app.
4. I can't inject items from the gmail app into ToDoMatrix (very specific and may not apply to most people, but necessary for me).

That's what I remember off the top of my head. Personally, I would much rather use the gmail app for the labeling capability, and two way sync. But the items above killed it for me, especially issues 2 and 3. If anyone knows that these issues have been addressed, please post! I'd go back to the gmail app in an instant.
