Thanks SpRoOoOo, the reason for me checking gmail sync was identical to yours.

We had corporate change to another exchange server, before it worked without problems. I agree it must be something in the phone that needs updating. Will check this weekend and see whether I can get Meego installed an see whether I can get that to work properly.

For today's standads the N900 is big and heavy, but I love the phone as it is possible to do almost everything.... Except sync Outlook through MfE these days.

Will keep following this thread.
