The Gmail app is garbage. BIS does a much better job and integrates with the device much better (attachments, etc.). OP - I assume when you say you figured it out that you set up the filter in BIS? There are dozens of posts on this very topic throughout the forums. Good luck.

Exactly. And it does IMAP... which rocks. I just wish the push was more reliable/faster!

no need for filters anymore. RIM just upgraded to BIS 4.6, IMAP is instantly pushed now. Just delete your gmail account from BIS and create it again, resend service books, and you're set!

When did this happen? The guy at Verizon set my Storm up Friday afternoon and he set up my Gmail account.

Odd, I've had instant push via IMAP and one-way syncing on my Storm since Nov. Other than about a month earlier this year where mail delivery was delayed by a few minutes, it's always been smooth and instantaneous.
But glad it works well across the board now. If only they would go ahead and implement two-way (versus current one-way) ota syncing of read/unread, then it would really rock.
happened late friday / early saturday morning. try it, my gmail syncs now and has instant push.
I just tried it. Problem fixed. Thank you sir!
Now Here is the dilemma I have which was alluded to in a post above...
Should I use the Gmail App or the BIS version?
Gmail App Pros:
1. Cooler Icon
2. Shows all old e-mails
Gmail App Cons:
1. Does not have the new message or Forward or Delete button on the screen. You have to click the blackberry button to bring up options
BIS Gmail Pros:
1. It has buttons on the home screen to compose new mail or forward or delete messages
BIS Gmail Cons:
1. It did not pull over all existing emails and I have quite a few there that I could really use on my phone
Please let me know if I am mistaken about any of these.
You did leave out one major point that people have been trying to tell you in this thread: BIS pros: (when configured for IMAP) you receive email instantly on the phone vs polling like the app. Read a message on your Storm and it gets marked as read instantly on the server. If you use the app, it's not instant: the app checks the server for new messages every time you send a message or every 5 min foreground or 20 min background.
Personally, I use both. I set up a filter on BIS to only push the most important emails (and mark certain very important ones as level 1). These get sent to my phone immediately if someone emails me. For all others (group mailings, ads, forum messages), I leave them on gmail.com and check it with the app.
Also a second question for you experts... All e-mails that are sent with my phone have "sent from my Verizon Wireless Blackberry" at the bottom of the e-mail. Is there any way in which I can change this?

TIA.
Log into BIS and delete the signature.
