Re: two e mails

you can have about 10 accounts i think.
Istructions for gmail are here: iPhone or iPod touch - Gmail Help

you have to log into your gmail account and enable imap in "settings" which may be the problem

Re: two e mails

I had exactly this and had all the settings in Gmail correct

Theres a link I found on another forum to a page to unblock something to allow it to work

I was a bit dubious at first but its worked

Ill have a look see if I can find it again
