Yes. POP has its limitations in that it downloads your emails to whatever device you are using, then deletes it from the original server so it can't be accessed again on the server. With IMAP, it basically makes a *copy* of the email, so that you can access your emails from multiple devices.

How do you set up a Gmail on a evoke?

I'm not sure how to set it up on that individual client, but here's some important information: If it works with an IMAP (IMAP4) server, go to your Gmail settings, go to the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab and make sure 'Enable IMAP' is selected. Click 'Save Changes.' If not, select 'Disable IMAP' and 'Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded).' (Receiving mail and custom folders) IMAP server: imap.gmail.com IMAP port: 995. (Receiving mail) POP server: pop.gmail.com POP port: 995 (Sending mail) SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com SMTP port: 465 (This is very important, as this is NOT the default port for SMTP)! If this is wrong, try Gmail>Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab>Configuration instructions. Hope this was helpful!
