Hello people,
I use Gmail for my personal email and like many people, I am really hoping Gmail go down the Yahoo! route of allowing their email to be pushed to the iPhone in a straightforward manner.
As it is, I am having to make do with a cobbled together solution. I've got two email accounts set up on my iPhone. The first is my IMAP Gmail account, and the second is my MobileMe account. I'm currently forwarding all emails to my Gmail to my MobileMe account, and the push is working fine.
However, the problem with this system is having to see every email twice. When I open mail to read the mail that has been pushed, the iPhone automatically downloads from my Gmail IMAP account.
Now, I can't delete my IMAP account as having it on my iPhone is the only way I can send emails that come from my Gmail address. I also do not want to change the Gmail forwarding settings to delete/archive email from Gmail when forwarding to MobileMe, as I use Gmail regularly.
Can anyone suggest a better system than the one I'm using now? It doesn't have to be free...
Regards,
Ed
