I have Curve 8320 with t-mobile. I have the 19.99/month BIS service. I have a gmail account set up but I do not get the emails instantly like the vast majority of gmail users claim. I have consistent extended delays between the time the message arrives in my gmail inbox and my handset (as much as an hour on at least one occasion and typically 5-7 minutes generally). I did not set up the account via IMAP. I have tried deleting the account and re-adding it but nothing seems to work. I signed up for a yahoo account and in tests the messages from there come virtually instantly. In other threads people claim gmail is instant, but I have not had this experience. Are you all just blowing smoke because you're gmail fanboys or is there something I'm doing wrong or could try to speed up the relay? I have used gmail since long before it was open to the public and would hate to have to migrate to a yahoo account. Please let me know if there is something else that can be done.

Good question---I am having the same issues as you are and so are many others.

Have the same problem. Read my thread and a temporary work-around here: http://forums.crackberry.com/f52/sto...-advise-14901/ I thought it was only me having these issues.

Apparently though, it's only you and me.

I've reported this issue to Gmail. I'll update here if I learn anything new.

I'm having the same issue. Gmail used to be instant, now I have a delay. It's a minor inconvenience; I tell folks to use the true Berry address.

Blargh.

why not just use the gmail app? it works great on my 8300. i tried using the gmail through pop and i didnt like it as much as using the gmail application.

I tried the gmail app with the pop at the same time and pop got my email faster than the app.

I'm having the same problems...wonder what's going on with gmail.

Mine still gets delivered immediately but when I first set it up, if I read an email on my BB, it was marked read on my gmail, but now no, and messages that I had rules for to bypass the inbox never were delivered to my BB, and now of course, they are all delivered. Wish I knew what happened with that.

[mvanderlinden]

Using the Gmail app defeats the purpose for those of us that need our email to arrive instantly, at the time it's sent.

Foward it to a Yahoo Account, it's Instant, all the time. It also reconciles instantly, all the time.

I use hotmail and have similar problems. Never instantly but timelag between minutes and an hour.
