I found one answer....change the incoming port settings to Port 110
The default port number didn't work....I simply took the port number off my ipod touch settings and it worked!
Getting comcast email on the phone....won't open attachments, though

i don't do gmail.

but because of the terrible email-im application, i took the otherwise interesting rumor touch back, swallowed hard, and got the blackberry. i've had two others, and gotta say they have it all sorted out, imho.

wish the lg had worked out -- it might have been fun.

One thing I've noticed is that when you enter your password, it make the first letter/number a capital. This often leads to incorrect logins. The way to fix is to use the space bar and then enter password, and then go back and backspace that original space.

i think that about covers it.

Maybe even better, you guys could just install Gmail app-IT IS SOOOO AWESOME!
