GMail settings upsetting
I went to Munich on Monday (considering the snow, a story in itself). Anyway - while waiting in the airport I wanted to access my GMail emails via my HP 6515 (using POP over GPRS). Unfortunately I had forgotten to reset the POP settings so that the PDA would download say the last day or so. The "Enable POP only for mail that arrives from now on" setting.
So, when my 6515 started to download about 350 messages I stopped the transfer and went to access the settings page via the mobile browser (pocket IE). I thought I could just reset the POP settings and then be set for the day at least.
Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be possible as GMail told me that accessing the settings page isn't possible via a mobile browser and that it would only work if I used a proper one. Even though the rest of the GMail interface rendered pretty well.
Duh. Anyone have a way around that for when the only way of access is a PDA?
