Collecting Gmail through P800?

Blub2k4

Has anyone been able to do it successfully?
I have looked through the FAQ's here and phoned O2.ie but they say that the phone cannot get to gmail.
I get the message "activation rejected"
Does anyone have it done?
Are O2 talking rubbish as I suspect, thanks in advance.

I am connecting to the web through a gprs account.

then im guessing that you are using either pop/imap which as far as i know so far gmail does not support and if they do yet cool let me know.

yeah gmail just started to support pop this week, it is under settings then pop and forwarding.
Just cant get it myself at the moment.
