Excellent post. It solves the problem that when I sent an email from my blackberry (using the gmail account), I get an copy sent back to my inbox (instead of just having it in sent items).
However, now if I want to email myself some information from my computer gmail account (say directions to somewhere) so that I have it on my gmail account (and on my blackberry), I am unable to do so. Any ideas?
Also, you can modify your settings within Gmail to such that Gmail archives it's copy of the message rather than sending it out AGAIN as a new message. I've also found that if you forward Gmail to your BB account rather than configuring BIS to retrieve it, you receive mail instantly rather than the 3-5 min delay.

Gmail is now instant with the recent BIS update. I suggest you try it again. Also, if you are only using forwarding you cannot send from the account, only receive.
Very true, Trevor. I don't need to send from that gmail account. It's great with the update that it's now instant. Best of both worlds!

ok i understand the tutorial and have done it but it still doesn't work for me. Using 8300 and ATT I still get CC'ed copies when I send using outlook and my bb. Is there another step I need to take??
I say read the steps again (print them out if you have to), and follow them slowly! It does work; there is even a screenshot that I posted, you really can't go wrong...
i know i feel like a ****** now but I'm doing it...just like you said. I have gmail set up to POP to outlook 07 on my machine, and set up on the BIS site. I do not have it set up to sync deleted items under BIS. I set up the filter to filter the from field with my gmail account and whether i sent via webmail or outlook or BB i get sent items returned to me....please for the love of god someone help me its driving me nuts
ok so it seems none of my filters work. If i click "do not forward messages to device" i still get email. Anyone have any idea whats going on? Nothing I do in BIS works except I can add new email addresses fine, just no filters. ??
I have a related question - when I used to send email from my Nokia using the Gmail app or using the Gmail website (yuk), that sent mail downloaded to my Apple Mail app and got put into Sent items as a new mail. This was handy as it meant I always had all my mail on my home computer, my base of operations so to speak.
However, if I send Gmail from my BB, it appears in the Gmail website in my Sent items (good) but doesn't download to Apple Mail (not good).
