While google offers a free client that you can download on your cell phone to view your GMail, I prefer using the native email client provided by Nokia. This also means I don’t get the threaded view, and each conversation/email is tracked as a new email. If you prefer the conversations clubbed together, you can download the email client from Google.
Find below the instruction on setting up your GMail or Google Apps account on your native client.
This is a question often asked. I need to start using Outlook Express to check my GMail, but what should I use - Pop3 or Imap?
Before we get into the comparison of both, lets look at them individually.
IMAP - IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. It is a protocol for accessing email from your local computer. It is a client/server protocol in which e-mail is received and held for you on the servers. You can view just the header information, which includes the sender and subject of the letter, allowing you to decide whether to download the message or not.
POP3 - POP3 stands for Post Office Protocol 3. It can act as a standard protocol to receive email on your client, or as a client/server protocol. The mail is stored on the server, until you download it on your client. Once downloaded the mail gets deleted from the server.
More and more people are switching over to GTalk from other messengers.
Reason: Its low on memory, and very sweet & simple.
Here are a couple of tips and tricks to make your experience with GTalk more interesting 
Do you use more than one GMail account for chatting on GTalk? Do you keep switching between accounts, for the core reason that you feel helpless that you cannot login into 2 different GMail account simultaneously?
Here’s a quick tweak, which will allow you to login into two different GTalk accounts simultaneously on the same PC.
Initially, I didnt like using gmail, but ever since I’ve started using Google Apps to manage my personal emails, I’ve fallen in love with the gmail interface, and wanted to move all my Outlook emails to gmail.
I tried using the GML software but it required the .NET framework, and often hung without uploading all the emails.
Here is a very easy way to upload your Outlook mails to Gmail, without the need of any software.
Step 1: Enable IMAP on your Gmail/Google Apps account. This step by step tutorial tells you how to enable IMAP.
Step 2: After you configure GMail on your Outlook (as part of the above step), you will see the IMAP folder (Gmail) and it will list out all the labels that you use as separate folders.
Step 3A: If you dont not wish to maintain a backup of the emails in Outlook, and just want them in your gmail inbox, drag the mails to your gmail Inbox (Under IMAP folder). If you drag them to your labels folder, they will automatically be labelled.
Step 3B: If you do wish to keep a copy of all emails in Outlook, you can right click on the folder you wish to upload, and hit -> Copy folder. Once the folder is copied, you can move those emails to GMail, so your original emails will still be stored in Outlook.
This could take a while, especially if you have large emails. I tried selecting all the emails, and moved them to gmail, and my Outlook hung, so I did them one batch at a time.
