can anyone give me any feedback on this. what email service do you use and do you have any recommendations, tips or anything. please, thanks
 
i am using gmail and the messages come up on my e61 within seconds of sending. i had to add a filter to the blackberry service because every time i would send a message from the e61 it would send back to me, gmail thing, once doing that it works great.
 
@greg: how does the internet connection work while having the BB service running? I know on older BB Connect devices (like the p910, for example), you had to manually stop the BB service from running while you were surfing the net. Can you have multiple connections on this? i.e. can I have the BB service running but still be browsing the net?

Thanks,

gmail is free, and yes you can pull mail with a POP client.

I uses mail2web's activesync exchange service because I found it quicker than T-Mobiles BIS (takes like 15 minutes cause they poll they don't push), activesync is instantaneous and it syncs my calander and contacts too and you can use IMAP or pop with their service. The only downside is that the exchange web client is poop compared to gmail.
 
You can have two simultaneous GPRS connections with different APNs. So yes, you can browse the web while the blackberry service is running.

Thanks for that.. Haven't decided between adding bb back to my account or using mail2web..

yeah i don't have to do anything when you hit web you are good. it can handle the multi GPRS at once. when at home i do wifi for web usually and that doesn't cause any problems with blackberry either.

gmail works great with bis. for some reason gmail gets pushed to the phone almost instantly. it is great to be able to sit and shoot email back and forth with friends and there is no delay.
 
gmail and yahoo have some sort of special infrastructure that allows their email services to get pushed more or less instantly with BIS. I'm sure they worked with RIM to set this up. There is no delay due to type typical POP/IMAP polling.
