Question from the "older" lady......do I HAVE to have a gmail acct set up for my email or can I use the same email address I've used(aol) since Columbus and I got off the boat?
From what I've garnered off this thread, you set up gmail first. If you have contacts, etc. on there they will be transferred to the phone. I believe this primary gmail account is the only one that has the true push email (chime in if I'm mistaken). Then you can set up a pop3 mail account (like hotmail, aol, yahoo, etc.) and I believe that can be setup to check for mail as often as every 5 minutes. I think the reason for the primary gmail account is to id the phone on googles network for updates and such. Again if I'm wrong don't hesitate to correct me.
