It works excellently with Gmail. I am using it now with no problems whatsoever.

That depends on how it's set up. The email should work fine but also syncing contacts, calendars etc over Mail for Exchange is not officially supported right now (it might work for you, but not guaranteed to do so, see this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=35136)

thanks guys
For gmail I set it up in Nokia messaging, and it works fine so far, just that you wont have all your mails at once, it keeps mails upto last 3 days, but for new mails this is more than enough for now.
For contacts and calender, I used PC suite, Im using it to sync with Lotus Notes(at work) and Outlook(at home).
Has been working fine so far.
google calender and contact sync totally unreliable with Mfe as of now.
Mails are not supported anyways on Mfe.
hopefully this gets ironed out soon
waiting for the xmas gift from Nokia/Maemo !

I'm still confused, does gmail get pushed to the n900 as the mail is sent, or do you have to go in to ur mail app for it to check for new mails?

Im not sure though if IMAP idle is supported for Gmail if you used the modest client to set it up using the IMAP4 protocol
And in my experience, it was terribly slow to use it that way, found Nokia messaging a little more quicker, maybe coz it loads fewer messages
