From: Howard on 2 Mar 2010 16:13 Hi all, Have been using my iPhone 3G for a year no problems. My contacs are synced through mobile me and work fine. I have about six email addresses on my iPhone. Three are gmail. I want to have gmail pushed to my iphone. But it seems I have to install Google Syc ? and I lose all of my iTunes contacts ? Is this correct ? Howard

You can choose to sync mail or contacts or calendar or all three. If you want to retain mobile me contacts, then when you setup gmail push, just untick the contacts sync. If you're using Gmail then you can sync OS X Address Book and iCal to gmail's cloud, and then do away with Mobile Me completely... Ric

Thanks for that Ric. Q: did I read somewhere that the iPhone (3G) only allows one IMAP account at a time ? Howard

I don't think it only allows one IMAP account, but I'm _fairly_ sure it only allows one Exchange account. Jim -- http://www.ursaMinorBeta.co.uk http://twitter.com/GreyAreaUK "Get over here. Now.

Correct on both points. You can add a second Exchange account if you jailbreak, mind you. -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm |
