I set everything up using Google’s guide for IMAP on WM6 to the word. However, I ran into issues as soon as the first Send/Receive action completed. For some reason, only the headers were downloading!! I didn’t think much of it, and since its a new service from Gmail I thought I might give it a few days for them to sort out the kinks and try again. Now I’m back on POP access.

But curiosity is never more than a hop, skip, and jump away.. and I wanted to see if I was the only one with these issues. Seems like I’m not. And here. Especially considering that the e-mail that was downloaded was all HTML based. So it definitely is a kink in Google’s system.. which will hopefully be sorted out soon (since they did state that they were “working on it”).

Hopefully it won’t be too long before I can finally use labels on my WM device!
