FAQ: Duplicate Gmail Emails Being Pushed/Forwarded To Your BlackBerry
September 17th, 2007 by Ronen Halevy
RIM has finally conceded the issue with Gmail emails showing duplicates on your BlackBerry and has posted an approved workaround that many people have been using for quite awhile.

So I set up the filter and I still get dup email. I followed the procedure step by step.
I also followed the step by step directions and I am still getting duplicate emails….it’s really annoying, there should be a way to fix this.
This isn’t really the best workaround. I often send myself emails with information for quick access and this workaround would prevent this helpful practice, no?
I feel the same way AJ. I send myself emails all the time. I’m frustrated BBerry doesn’t have more robust filters that would allow me to do something like “Filter all EXCEPT [subject: note to self]” for example. Anyone have any thoughts?
