Ahh, so do you know how I can make it work?
I have 2 gmails, 1 mobileme and 1 hotmail account that i'm syncing lol.
Got mobileme on push, hotmail on fetch and gmails on manual.
The application badge won't change and the sync capabilities are poor when you have your mails automatically redirected to a folder.
Is there any other (legit) way of getting things to work?
