Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I have given up on the iPod Touch, and traded it in for a Palm T|X.
Slightly thicker, same display size and resolution, same WiFi access, plus: now I have my contacts imported, all my notes, all my add-on apps., and all my games. I have stylus input again so I can write at speed and/or doodle, and I can write stuff on my laptop and sync over! Yay!

I just got a BlackBerry. If I set it up with my gmail account, then will the emails sent to gmail only go to the BlackBerry, or will I also still have access to them if I access gmail through the web?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The latter. It's just like checking your gmail on another computer.

OK, what if someone sends me a message, and I read it and delete it on the computer. Does it then get deleted from the BlackBerry? I tested it, and the answer seems to be no, but I might not have waited long enough. Or is this something that I can change in the settings somewhere?
edit: nevermind. I figured it out. I think.

I think that's an IMAP versus POP issue. It was explained to me like this:
when you have a POP account, it's like you have two different mail boxes with two different doors. copies of mail get put into both boxes. If you delete the mail in one box (your computer), it stays in the other box (your blackberry)
an IMAP account is a one box with two doors. Regardless of which door you use to access the box, the actions affect the other door.

That's not necessarily true. Many POP mail clients will automatically delete a message from the server when you delete it from the client, depending on the the user's settings. However, my experience with Gmail is that it stays on the server unless you go to Gmail directly and delete it.

I didn't mention that my IMAP/POP thing was specifically regarding my gmail account when I was setting it up on the pda, which is what Hil is doing.

Hmm. OK, I did a couple google searches for info, and it seems that gmail works weirdly with BlackBerry (something about the way those two particular applications connect.) I found one place that says that if you delete a message from gmail through the website, then it just won't delete from the BlackBerry, you've got to do it manually, and another that says that it will, but sometimes it takes a while, and a few threads where different users report completely different experiences. I guess I'll play around with mine and see what happens.
