How do you do this? I tried to enter Gmail info into the Exchange account info, and it won't verify.
I am having a LOT of issues today with Facebook and Gmail. Facebook sits on "updating" when I pull to refresh, and has been doing this all day. Notifications are slow to come through if they alert at all. Gmail is about 5 minutes in lag from receiving on my Mac to the time the Iphone rings it in. Not a big deal, but a little annoying.
UPDATE: resolved! Thanks to the previous poster, I found the process (can't post a link here because I have a low post count) to get gmail to push almost instantly. You have to set up the email using the Microsoft Exchange account, and use "m.google.com" for the SERVER field. Also use your full gmail for the username and email address fields. The procedure is located in "Setting up Google Sync with your iOS device" on Google's mobile site. THANKS!!
