Gmail as my email client

Since getting my Blackberry, I've been getting tons and tons of spam. It makes sense as my email is filtered for spam at the client level, which was Thunderbird on my Mac.

Because the email is sent to the Blackberry before I download it on the Mac, no filtering.

When my Mum was here, I noticed she was downloading her other email accounts into her gmail account, and reading everything there.

Thinking about it a bit more, it made sense.

So I hooked my blackberry up to my gmail account, added my other two main email accounts into gmail, and have been running that way for a while now. Gmail spam filters take care of the junk quickly, and I pull clean emails into my Blackberry.

The gmail client for blackberry is good, but not has handy as the push email features of the blackberry itself, so I'm using that.

Good bye Thunderbird, I'm entirely online now.
