I had an email conundrum: How could I get my mobile email to work the way I needed it to work?
I’m a Gmail vet, people. Way back when Yahoo and Homail — I’m sorry, Hotmail — started letting in more spam than real mail, I decided to give the new Google beta a try, and haven’t looked back since. When I finally paired what had become my primary email address with a BlackBerry, it was paradise, baby.
My 8320 handled my email in the mobile space: Through POP-tinted glasses.
I almost never checked my true Gmail box online; why would I? It was way cooler to send email with the “sent via BlackBerry” tag on it. With such advanced features like leaving email in the inbox, sent confirmation email and unified inbox, it was, uh, well… something.
