I've been able to sync my Comcast email with Mobile Email in Get it Now, but am having problems with my Gmail.
I have heard that when syncing Gmail with Mobile Email you have to do some extra steps?
If anyone has synced their GMAIL only (B/c the way you do others is different) or know how too, could you let me know?
Thanks in advance!

You need to have pop/imap enabled in your gmail settings (in your gmail account, not the phone). When I entered my gmail email and password in verizion mobile email to set it up under add account, it worked with no extra tweaking. So, I know it works. Go to account settings in gmail and select the pop/imap tab to make sure they are turned on.
...
You also need to forward the email out to another email account for it to work properly. Create another dummy Gmail account or Yahoo, then auto forward all email to it. This should allow Gmail to work properly if you use more then one external POP program. It is also best to set Gmail to only POP mail that arrives from now on instead of all.
Because of how Gmail pops, I forward all my mail to my Yahoo Plus Mail account and POP that. It works better then only POP Gmail.

You don't need to forward to anything. I am not forwarding my gmail anywhere, even to another dummy gmail or yahoo account, and it works just fine with verizon mobile email.

Thanks I updated that.
"Invalid Account Details, please try again" shows up.
Does it just take a little bit for gmail to update its settings or should it be automatic?
Thanks again.

I don't know, I have had mine set for a while and previously used it with Eudora2go. When I changed to mobile email, I just entered my email address and password and it started working. Perhaps it will take some time to sync.

Great! It works.
The only thing with mobile email is you can't look at attachments or pictures, correct?
...
Yes, however if you set up mobile google (www.google.com/xhtml) in your browser, go to mail and book mark it, you can pick up googlemail there too, and it will attempt to render attachments including xls, doc, pdf and jpg. It doesn't do a perfect formatting job and you can't edit, but you can usually read the info in them. So, if you see in mobile email that there is an attachment, you can go to mobile google and see if you can read it.
Note also that you can register your phone with google calendar and get text pages for appointment reminders, text new appointments to google calendar at GVENT, and view your calendar through mobile google as described above. I have both google mail and google calendar bookmarked in the browser for quick ...
