Just FYI, you can install Java and use the Google mobile email client as well. Not listed as supporting Treo ( I think because Java needs to be installed), but I have been using it on my 680 with no issues for a while now.

Hi Grant! Versamail can be configured to get emails from Gmail — but only via POP and not via IMAP. I don’t think Versamail can do IMAP.
For the benefit of people who may have questions about POP v. IMAP: via POP, an email program like Versamail actually “wakes” itself up and checks for any new emails on Gmail. Many email programs (like those on the Blackberries when working with non-Blackberry email addresses) can be set to check for new emails every 15 minutes or more — not less. Very irritating. But when an email program like Chatter works with an email service like Gmail that can do IMAP, that means whenever new email arrives at the Gmail account, it is automatically and instanteously “pushed” to Chatter. Very, very useful, and this is exactly what we’re used to with our Blackberries and Sidekicks which get push email (at least for blackberry.net and tmail.com email addresses).

Can we do it with default email program? (Versamail)

Since Google doesn’t offer Gmail program for Palm OS unlike Windows Mobile OS or Blackberry OS, I am stuck with web-based Gmail…
