OK, I set it up as IMAP, following the instructions on the gmail site. Waited a few minutes, and the BB recognized it and got the most recent test email I'd sent to the gmail address. I deleted the email from gmail on the computer, and now I've waited about 15 minutes, and it's still on the BB.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
May be a stupid question, but have you refreshed it?

Not a stupid question, since I just got it a few hours ago and am still figuring out how it works. How do you make it refresh?

On mine it's a menu option when you're in the inbox.

Thank you! I tried "Reconcile Now," and it didn't do anything immediately, but like a minute later, the message disappeared!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Hil, the only thing that's wonky with IMAP and Gmail is the fact that there is a delay receiving your email. It's a Gmail issue, not a BB one, but I went back to POP access when I'd have to wait up to 10 minutes to get a new email.
As for you first concern, I usually manually delete the email on the BB that's already been deleted from the account on a computer. There's lots of stuff out there that talks about the Gmail/BB issues that you should be able to find via Google. Also, there are some forums that have been very helpful with mine (if you can ignore the occasional instance of chatspeak and bad grammar): Crackberry.com, Blackberryforums.com, and HowardForums.com.

Hey. New board.
Hil, the only thing that's wonky with IMAP and Gmail is the fact that there is a delay receiving your email.
Is this a Gmail issue in connection with Blackberries specifically? Cuz I have pretty much instant IMAP access on my computer.
A warning about using Gmail IMAP, though: be sure to read up on how it interprets various signals. Clicking "Delete" on a message actually archives it on Gmail, e.g. To really delete, you have to drag it to the Gmail Trash directly. And the folders->labels->folders exchange can be kind of weird, though I finally got the hang of it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Iron Man hates Linux. Iron Man Armor Now Comes With Proprietary Software
Iron Man! He's not just the kinda guy who saves the world from supervillains and Jeff Bridges with a shaved head anymore! No, now he's the kind of guy who's off crusading against... Linux? Wait, that can't be right. The latest interview promoting movie tie-in comic The Invincible Iron Man seems to suggest a more software-based approach to the character than ever before, however.
According to series writer Matt Fraction, the battle between Tony Stark and new bad guy Ezekiel Stane is really just an allegory for the battle Bill Gates wages against smaller software providers every single day of his life:
Zeke is a post-national business man and kind of an open source ideological terrorist... He has absolutely no loyalty to any sort of law, creed, or credo. He doesn't want to beat Tony Stark, he wants to make him obsolete. Windows wants to be on every computer desktop in the world, but Linux and Stane want to destroy the desktop. He's the open source to Stark's closed source oppressiveness.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm designing a home network in my head, after reading through a product description for a Home Media Server, and thinking about stuff that you mentioned, tommy.
From reading up on Time Machine and the EMC product it seems that backup to hard drive is no longer a thing of the future, but a thing of the present. In addition to presenting space for me to save files on the server I can also present space to facilitate a system backup/restore for either my PC or Mac machine. If that's my goal, would it really matter what OS the server is running? And then I have the option to back the server itself up to a standalone drive or to optical media.
As shared storage goes, is there a way to have multiple iTunes installs pointing to the same library? I'd like my laptop and my desktop to be looking at the same songs, if not also the same playlists as each other. It's all mine, after all.
I guess I could also drop a shared printer off the server, but I'm guessing that hub/switch/router offerings these days are starting to have USB jacks for just that.
Does that sound plausible?
