A few months back they offered a Gmail expansion or add-on that would allow users who have Gmail accounts to add stars and have a more user friendly experience while looking at their emails. The question is.....how do i do that. I have heard many conflicting stories one being that with the OS from 5.0 on do not need the Gmail add-on or enhancement because its already in the OS. Next i heard that you have to configure it through the BIS by logging in. Well i just did that and i saw nothing on there regarding my account. So what is it Crackberry? Can someone help me out because i want to have a cool gmail thing too.

When I did it I deleted my Gmail account from my phone & then set it up again. If I remember right I was asked if I wanted to download the Gmail plug-in at that time. I installed the plug-in & I was good to go.

do you happen to know where i can get the plug-in now?

Not sure if you can download the plug-in separately or not. If you go to Email Settings & delete your Gmail account & then re-set it up you will get the option to add the plug-in. That's the only way I am aware that you can get it.

You can point your BB browser to www(dot)blackberry(dot)com/gmail and you should be able to dl from there right on your BB.

Good luck.

I thought I would see what the deal was with the plug-in also. I just did what you did and deleted my gmail account on the BIS site. The only new option I have in my phone from the email icon>options>enhanced gmail plug in options>lines in conversation (choose 1-4). I have no idea what that does for me yet.

The problem I have now though is my contacts are all doubled up. I can't figure out how to remedy that short of going in and deleting the doubles. Oh well. Good luck, let us know what you find.

In your gmail box try BB button>filter. That offered me ability to add messages to different folders in gmail.

I also have the ability to add stars, report spam, etc by using the BB button within the gmail icon.

in order to correct that you need to switch it back to the 2 line mode and reset you phone....still needs to get the bugs worked out i guess

I have these options as well in my Gmail folder.

I may be the same as others in wondering exactly what the benefit is of having this as opposed to downloading the GMail App. I thought I would save some space, but the App is about the same size as the GMail plug-in. The one benefit I see is that it allows me to add an attachment to the email. Anyone notice anything else beneficial to having the plug-in?
