gmail account set up as an exchange account, but for some time now kept
getting a message 'Connection to the Server Failed'. I had removed my
account since I am not really using it anyways, but on the last Today in iOS
episode a caller asked for instruction on how to sync his Google contacts as
well. One caller had provided instructions on how to set it up as a CardDAV
account, but another caller called in and explained that one could set it up
as an Exchange account and provided the settings, m.google.com for the
server and google.com for the domain. Then of course your gmail email and
password. So I just tried to set up my account again using those settings
and while the account was created without a hitch, once I opened Mail and
went into my gmail Inbox I received the same 'Connection to the Server
Failed' message. I guess this is another good reason why it is much simpler
to use Outlook.com. I consider Exchange and Exchange Active Sync to be much
better than IMAP which only does mail.

I am seeing a problem with syncing contacts between BB10 phones (Z30, Z10) and Gmail. These problems are occurring with more than one Gmail account. In two cases when a new sync was attempted, only 140 out of 1200 contacts were brought into a Z30 from Gmail. On a Z10, with a different Gmail account, I am getting the message: An unexpected problem occurred with CardDav:Gmail.
