Using Gmail to forward to your MobileMe?

[dissdnt]

So this might have been discussed but since there's a new section I figure I'd start it up.

Is there anyway to have Gmail pull your email and then automatically forward it to your MobileMe. Mobileme filtering it to a specific folder and then you got PUSH on any email account?

Yes. Setup a filter in Gmail that the mail contains the text "in:inbox", have it skip the inbox (wierd I know). The forward is instant and then when it gets to me.com it'll push as expected...

I've set it up with a combination of gmail and google hosted accounts and it's working fine.

I understand that the OP is looking for a way to make the message arrive in a particular foler of MobileMe, which is not possible

Yah totally. You can just use the smtp.me.com outgoing server on any of your account, in theory

it is possible on the iPhone or on a mail client by provide different SMTP settings but not from the web interface

Well wait a minute. Now that me.com is working check this out

Seems like you can just add pops in there to pull email

AND

Set up aliases! well only me.com one

 

[GuillaumeB]

Yeh you cant use a personal domain or a gmail address for the expeditor on the webmail

 

[dissdnt]

I'm sure at some point they will let you make filters on me.com then it can just handle the email sorting from different accounts.

Is it really necessary to set up a filter? I did it just using the forwarding settings and then it allows you to archive the emails instead of going to the inbox.
