Use MobileMe push email with any email address
Authored by: andykemp on Jul 11, '08 03:37:25PM

This nearly works and it doesn't take very much to get it to actually work!

I am using a google hosted apps account, but I don't see why it shouldn't work for others...

Add two accounts in normally:
1) Me.com account
2) Gmail Account

Then ensure mail is enabled for me.com and disabled for gmail

Go in to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars >Me.com account > Account info > SMTP

Turn on the smtp.gmail.com account and switch of the smtp.me.com account...

Make sure all your email from Gmail is forwarded on to the me.com account and all should then work as expected...

The only downside with this is you can't put your email in folders or delete things are you are not really working with you email directly (just a copy) however it will do me until Gmail support push natively...

Hope this helps some other people out...
