now i'm wondering how to 'deactivate' my email i had set up on bb before the gmail app. i dont want to be getting 2 notifications for 1 email.. how do i do this?
Gmail through BIS - pushed email, it is delivered as it is sent (or soon after). Emails are stored on the device until deleted.
Gmail through the BB App - You choose to check your email as you would on the computer - unless you leave it open, and have it set to notify you. Emails are stored on the Gmail servers.
I use the Gmail app because it is more convenient for me, I'm not bombarded be gmails every 2 seconds and the way I have my Gmail set up I have some emails that are mark-as-read & archived when they arrive but using BIS even these get "pushed"!
