Can anyone tell me how I can make the N93 notify me automatically on any new email I receive through gmail? Do I need specific software for that?

thanks

Thanks.

How do you obtain your phone email address though?

Why do you need the phone email address?

going to the gmail website and than enabling pop seems all there is to it. It does not give an option to submit the phone address anywhere

What connection settings do you use to configure the Nokia e-mail box. for incoming mail server is that: pop.gmail.com?

Run the program "Settings Wizard" (under Tools by default), and use the Gmail settings there. If you don't have it, check out the Nokia support site for your phone and download the software there (simply Google "N93 nokia support" and look under downloads from the official nokia websites).

If you can't get it to work or it doesn't have the settings for whatever reason, tell me and I'll post up my gmail settings (which work!).

This won't require you to forward it to your phone, what's actually happening is your phone connects via 3G internet or wifi (or whichever access point you designate) and it checks emails every <insert time period of your choice>.

To everybody else reading this topic who uses Gmail on their phone

I've got mine set to POP3 mode but I can't figure out how this all works in terms of Gmail's "archive" mode, and whether or not it'll delete the email. All times except one, it downloads the email but leaves it in my Gmail inbox so that when I open Outlook later on, it'll download it through the POP3 account there and then automatically archive it. I'm just trying to figure out why that one time it actually downloaded the email OFF gmail and thus it archived it. I don't recall deleting it... so can't figure it out. Any ideas?
