Hello, I am now able to check email on my Q with gmail, but i was wondering, you know how on the PC gmail has a pop-up telling you have a new email, well is there such a thing for mobile gmail? Thanks

you can change the homescreen file (.xml of the screen you are using) to tell you to show you the email count

this has been posted on the site quite often...search around and you will find out how to do it

Push Effect has a pop up showing when you get a new email along with who it's from and the subject. This is a push email application which you have to purchase. I just started using it today with gmail. So far it works much better than anything else I've tried for email on the Q.

Thanks,

You can also set it up to check for mai at certain intervals. Mine shows a little envlope at the top of the screen when I get one. It's not push e-mail, but you can tell it to check whenever you want.

when you setup the email account at the end it asks you how often you want it to check your email

As far as I know if you have the pop3 set up on your phone it will check your mail when you tell it to and if you have messages that envelope will show up. It works like when you have a voice mail.

Do you use it with Gmail? US Cellular started rejecting some of the larger emails forwarded from Gmail to my XXXXXXXXXX@email.uscc.net address.

I don't use gmail, but Yahoo and Hotmail's sms alerts just send from who and the subject line. PushEffect gets the alert, then just starts the phones normal email download. You wont see the sms alert after you set the account up in PushEffect. So if your Q downloads the gmail fine, your cool. Give it a trial!
