Re: G1 pop3 notification failure

Seriously, this email situation is unacceptable. The email application on the G1 is incapable of notifying when I receive messages. The suggested work around is the have gmail poll my pop3 acounts as only the gmail application works properly... (we can discuss that later.) But gmail's mail fetcher cannot be set to a specific interval and only wants to check about once an hour. So I'm supposed to be satisfied that I get my email once an hour (rather than never) when I am used to receiving it once every 10 - 15 minutes? This is ridiculous. What good is a mobile computing device that doesn't keep up to date when you are on the go?

Sincerely,
A disgruntled consumer that really can't do anything about the current situation but will think twice about your product next time...
