Google has launched a new Java based Gmail client today:
"The new Gmail for mobile client launching today began life as a challenge: What if we could develop a Gmail application for cell phones that was as powerful and as easy to use as the desktop version? What if it ran on hundreds of different mobile devices -- and made it possible to compose, read, and respond to conversations with a bare minimum of clicking and scrolling?
What if it enabled you to do things like search your inbox, view your attachments (including pictures and PDF files), and click to call your Gmail contacts? And what if the app were designed to make the whole experience as fast and as seamless as possible?"
You can download the new application to any of these devices, by pointing your mobile browser to gmail.com/app Google doesn't charge you to access your Gmail account from a mobile phone, but depending on your service plan, you may be charged by your wireless provider.

grr! same thing happens on my 6280 too
So, i stay with opera mini.
But i'm still waiting for something wich give me an alert when i receive mails (no, not mail>sms).
For 404 : change your phone language to english, then download it (after that, go back to your favorite language).
I must say though, up until now, Opera Mini is superb for viewing Gmail's mobile site.
but after i log in - I cant retrieve any mails..
That's that one in the bin then. The Gmail WAP site is fine if you want to use it on your mobe; nice and compact.
I'd just caution the Opera Mini advocates to bear in mind that SSL connections are unencrypted between your device and the Opera proxy-server, so don't rely on SSL security if you use this browser.

If your not in the US/Canada you may have this problem but its an easy fix, login to Gmail via the web and change the default language to English (US) i did this and i am on "Vodafone UK Pay-as-you-Go" and now I can use the app.
By default the first 20-25 emails in the Inbox are retreived with full body.
If you want to save data, in the settings you can chose to retreive only the headers in the future.
Nice piece of software. I hope it gets enhaced with more features as the software gets developed.
I mean, I know it's universal and stuff, but really, who needs that kind of bloat just for checking their email?
No thank you, I'll stick to my WM5 + .NET Compact Framework.. Much faster. And Opera Mobile. Rock on!
I'd try it myself except java apps don't seem to have network access anymore (even after giving them permission) after an unrequested SIM update from Orange, and their tech support say it's not their problem. If anyone else has this problem I'd very much like a soloution so I can use Opera Mini again. When I try to use opera mini now, the GPRS connects, and I get charged 4p (10KB equivilent), but then it reports a connectivity problem, even though the built in browser works fine.
(i know there is agilemessenger.. but it doesn't work on a K610i)...
