For the past two days I noticed my gmail was syncing both ways. I read it on my computer and it gets marked as read on my BB in seconds. Works with deletion too. Anyone else notice this?

I did nothing. Read emails on computer and then turned on BB. I noticed it worked so I tested it. It hasn't failed all day.

Ok, I've found the secret! Although it's still not working for me, maybe Rogers in Canada doesn't have it fully activated yet, I know why it's working for others.
BIS was upgraded to 2.7 over the weekend. When I login to my carriers BIS site and go to edit my GMail account I see this image at the bootom of the page.
Beside it is a question mark. Clicking it gives this explanation.
Ok, so it doenst work for me either,however i would love to have this feature. For now, whenever i delete from my phone, i also have to come home and delte off the laptop as well.....
looks like mine is setup to work too but I never knew that and will have to try it when I get my next msg. I also turned that function on for my personal email acct just to see if it works.
Does anyone know if this two way sync has been rolled out now for all gmail users and all carriers? I just got a curve with sprint and have set up gmail with IMAP and setup Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) with the account and checked the graphic for synching deleted messages with the handheld. I also have delete on handheld and server checked on the blackberry. However, so far, when I dleete a message on the gmail server, it does not delete on the BB. Works fine the other way around though.
I called my carrier (Rogers) about this yesterday because it wasn't working for me. I have 3 email accounts. 2 IMAP (one is GMail) and an Exchange account using OWA.
Basically BB support said that it hasn't been working for many people yet. It's up to the email host, like GMail, to allow the sync from the host to your BB.
I have tmo in US. I noticed it started doing this a few weeks ago, and didnt like it. I usually 'preview' my gmails on my bb, and then decide if I need to go to a laptop to respond.
it does have to do with gmail now supporting IMAP. in fact, tmo wont even connect to gmail with POP anymore as far as I can tell.
so I turned off wireless sync.
go to email options, email reconciliation
delete on DEVICE
--->wireless reconcile OFF <---
This is working for me with my pearl on sprint. Just looked at the bis site and saw the icon. logged into my gmail and deleted an email from my blackberry and refreshed gmail and it is no in the trash.
