Hello,

Hopefully someone out there will be able to assist me.

I have a Blackberry 8310 (Curve --> from Rogers, Canada). It is
currently set up to receive e-mail from my G-Mail account and leave
the original copy of the message on the server (regardless of weather
I delete it from my blackberry or not).

However, when I receive a message on the Blackberry, I would like for
G-mail to mark that message as read. Currently, when I log into G-
mail, even after reading a message on my Blackberry, it still shows as
unread.

After receiving approx 200. messages a day, this can be quite an
inconvenience, as I sometimes find myself re-reading messages, just to
be sure I don't miss anything.

Thanks so much in advance,

- Adam

Blackberry's mail client is rather pathetic in terms of it's ability to
perform a true two way synchronization against a server.

Going from memory, in BIS mode, Blackberry doesn't push out a "Read"
status to the server, so unfortunately you can't do what you want.

I thought about using IMAP, however, have some concerns:

1) Will my e-mail still be accessible, even without cell service.
Parts of my office don't get stellar service, but I often find myself
referencing e-mails.

2) If I delete a message on my Blackberry with IMAP, will it delete it
off Gmail too? I don't necessarily want to have to scroll through (or
keep) 10000000's of messages on my blackberry, but I do like to retain
a copy of all messages, within G-mail for archival/reference
purposes.


Thanks,

BB offers both an IMAP and POP3 client.

The BB still doesn't do a two way synchronization against an IMAP
Server.

This sometimes happens, although there are a number of conditions where
it doesn't work properly (most of which involve attachments, although we
bumped into at least one that didn't)

How about if you delete something on Gmail, does it disappear from the
BB? Does the BB know when you mark mail as read vs unread in Gmail?
