Gmail issues with BIS...(tried search)

[rbdynamics]

I tried searching...no luck.

When I read new mail in inbox, it isn't shown as "read" on my PC in Gmail. Also, when I delete mail from my PC in Gmail, it isn't deleted on my BB. I have enabled IMAP. My POP is enabled...I have disabled it now and will wait to see changes. Please help. Thanks!

Ok, I literally just did this myself.
First, make sure you have enabled IMAP in Gmail.
Second, through your Storm's Browser goto: BlackBerry Internet Service
Third, go here and follow these steps through your Storm's Browser: https://mail.google.com/support/bin/...y?answer=78882 Start at #5

*I had to delete my email address from the BIS site and start over because it was originally setup for POP.
** After some initial tests, reading/deleting emails on my Storm does so in my Gmail account. Conversely, reading/deleting emails in my Gmail account have yet to update on my Storm.
*** When sending emails from my Storm, I no longer receive the sent email as a new message on my Storm but it does show up on my Gmail account in the Sent box AND the Inbox (As a delivery confirmation; wait nevermind about that confirmation. Forgot to change setting on my Storm)

So is this what I'm supposed to do?

It's what I did and it is using IMAP as far as I can tell. I don't see how it could use POP since it is disabled and IMAP is enabled. All my BIS settings are for an IMAP account as well.

Why would I need to do step 2 & 3 on my storm as opposed to my PC?

[df1z]

Through my PC, I was unable to log in to the BIS website. But when navgating to the BIS website through my Storm, no login is needed.

[rbdynamics]

So your saying I should delete my email accont and setup again? How would one go about deleting their BIS acct?

[df1z]

No no, not your BIS account. Once you've logged into the BIS site with your Storm, delete your Gmail account in there and re-add it using these steps: https://mail.google.com/support/bin/...y?answer=78882. Start at #5

[rbdynamics]

Ohhh, I see...Delete Gmail acct. in BIS through Storm. And re-ad it using those steps provided in the link. Right?

[df1z]

You got it.

[rbdynamics]

Thanks man...works so far. I wouldn't have to setup a filter now that I'm on IMAP right?

[df1z]

Not needed. I'm going to repost all the steps in a new thread for easier access. Glad everything's working!

Please Do Not Start Another Thread!

This should at least be a sticky...unless there's something similar out there. I tried a search but the search brought up things like "Rogers mobile gmail setup, etc....it threw me off guard.
