The lack of 2 ways email status sync for email is quite disappointing after sometime . At the moment, only actions ( such as read, sent emails) from Blackberry device will sync toward the web based email (eg Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail), but not the other way round.
That’s pretty annoying if you have read hundreds of email from other email program (web browser, Gmail app in Andoird, iPhone), but have to mark it as already read ,manually in Blackberry, just for example.
Some good news is, the rumors about upcoming BIS 3.0 is said to overcome this issue. But apparently that’s only for Gmail plugin, so I guess other email have to stick with 1 way sync until.. I have no idea when.
The original source where this info first leaked, has uploaded document BIS 3.0 which apparently has been taken down.
I certainly hope this is for real!

If you open your Gmail today, there is chance that you’ll seeing this notification to update your secondary email address for the purpose of password recovery/reset on top of your mailbox screen.
This is the first time I notice this notification appear there, and probably part of Google effort to remind users, to enter correct secondary email for password recovery purpose of your Google account in case of any incidents that leads you to miss/forgotten the password.
This recovery process included using text message/SMS announced recently. It still not available here in Malaysia though, where email is the only method to reset the password.
If you click on ‘Update this address’, it will bring you to another screen below, where you can verify your email and enter you mobile number. Once yo update, the notification no longer showing up there.
Do you notice this??
It doesn’t take long for us to get hold of Offline Gmail. If you didn’t notice, it is now available on Gmail Lab. Enable it, and your Gmail follows you even on the offline world.
Additional note after it has been enabled. You’ll see Offline link on the right top of your Gmail page.
Clicking on it will prompt you to install offline access for Gmail, and Google Gears if you don’t have it installed.
Follow the installation steps till the completion. Once completed, it will start downloading your emails immediately. It could take long time, depending on how much email you have.
Once all emails are downloaded, you’re now ready to go offline!!
New stuff comes to Gmail 
New button
Instead of just the typical ‘link’ looks, it has switched to button style now.
Label vs Move To
New button ‘Move To’ is introduced. To give you an idea about what it is, the screen shot below is from my ‘directory’ labels. The difference between ‘Move To’ and ‘Labels’ button is, labeling email will label the email with your choice label and the email stay in Inbox (on the screen shot below, it is the first row email)
While moving email will move them to that label, and the emails will disappear from Inbox (second row email below).
Auto Complete
The third improvement is pretty much self-explanatory from the this screen shot. It works on the ‘Move To’ and ‘Labels’.
After about a month in beta, it seems like Yahoo Mail open applications is now available to everyone. See that this morning on my, and my wife yahoo account. Previously, only users who have registered for beta tester are able to test it, but only from the beta URL.
Additionally, there are also few more applications has been added into the application gallery such as ‘Family Journal’.
When it run on Google Chrome, the new Yahoo Mail also requesting permission to allow it accessing Google Gears (it never asking anything before). Does that means the Yahoo Mail open application now using Google Gears to improve its perfomance??
Erm, no announcement on the Yahoo Mail blog..
