iphone 4 & gmail

yes the iphone supports push imap email - I use Gmail myself

 

Yes it does. Although gmail on the ip4 seems to be "buggy" for some reason.

 

If you're talking about the emails that come in with no sender or subject, mine started working again a couple days ago. Is anybody still having this problem?

 

Push Gmail is working excellent for me.
I have it configured as an Exchange account and that works for me

 

+1
emails are pushed almost instantaneously and my brother, girlfriend and i all have been using gmail flawlessly on our devices for almost a month.

follow the link above to setup your device with gmail.
it's very, very easy.

 

I think i did it somewhat different.
I made a few screenshots, they are in Dutch and i will translate where needed:



i chose for Microsoft Exchange, when i go to Mail,Contacts, Calendar.
I filled in my username and password and used : m.google.com as Exchange Server.
After that i tapped to sync Contacts,Mail and Calendars via Exchange.


On my Mac i did this(this is my Address Book, did the same at Calendar)


This works perfectly for me
If u have any questions, send me a message

 

+1 Set it up as a Microsoft exchange and it will push like any other email server.

 

You must be running LockInfo.

 

Here it is right from the source: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252 . I have 5 Gmail accounts setup this way and they have worked flawlessly since Day 1.

 

Gmail works fine for me.

 

Like others have said, set it up as an Exchange account using m.google.com and you'll get push. If you set it up as a Gmail account, you'll get a max of 15 minute fetch, because Gmail does not support IMAP Idle.

Now that iOS 4 supports multiple Exchange accounts, everybody is able to get push Gmail, whether they use their phone for work email or not.

 

Custom Labels

I use this as well and only have one problem. Gmail now supports custom lables in contacts, as does the iPhone. The only problem is they don't talk to eachother. When I set up a phone number on a contact in Gmail and create a custom label, that part of the contact does not sync over to the iPhone.

On the gmail help page they describe the problem and say that ActiveSync for iPhone does not yet support custom labels (link).
