I just bought a BB. I do not want to pay more for the BIS and want to set up gmail and get it to download mails through wifi.

How can i do this?
 
get 3rd party applications like funmbol for Push Mail...

Otherwise for Gmail specifically there's an application..just google download Gmail for Blackberry ...it will direct you to a download page..

But in that application u have to retrieve the mails yourself...
 
Install Logicmail email client for Blackberry...it supports POP and IMAP protocols...enable IMAP in your gmail account and use logic mail to fetch the mails...
 
go to http://gmail.com/app from your native browser and install Gmail for BB. But mind you - that makes it a pull based email vs a push email which BBs are famous for.

If cost is a concern, why dont you go for the BB Lite plan at Rs 299 pm?

No you dont. It syncs automatically and shows a star on the Gmail icon if you have new mails. For convenience you can place the icon on the home screen.

You saying this for Funmbol or for Gmail for BB?
 
How do i stop Funmbol from starting up at every reboot? Not too happy with it. Will try Logicmail.

You either have to uninstall it..or go in the application on BB and change the permissions...
