I was a bit dismayed to see that it only works with accounts ending in @gmail.com and not the gmail for your domain accounts. Ahh well, back to the web interface.</p> Thanks for the help I got the app running on my Treo.

No it doesn’t allow sending any kind of attachments … and that means we have an addition to the “cons” list.

Thanks for bringing it to my notice – I just completely skipped that part.

Cheers!

Digging up the GMail.prc shouldn’t be hard, but the IBM Java MIDP isn’t available from Palm’s site anymore. I haven’t tried to find it as I kept an extra copy of the .ZIP as soon as I heard that Palm wasn’t going to distribute it on their site anymore.

Whenever I have tried to install it on my Treos. Google states that it isn't palm compatible and refuses to download. I have Java installed, but no way to get the application to try it.</p> You have this listed under Palm software. Whenever I have tried to install it on my Treos.
