You should have no problem connecting to gmail...only bad thing as the gmail conversation mode doesn't work well when you reply to an email. The message disappears from the Q but is still on the gmail website. It's convenient to use when you get an email but I don't reply through the Q unless I really need to or don't care if the original message disappears from the Q. Hope this helps.
