Fixing the refresh problem in the Gmail 2.06 java app.
1. Install 7-Zip on your Windows PC from
http://www.7-zip.org/ (Not sure what to use for a Mac.)
2. Download the app from
http://m.google.com/mail/download/binaries/L1/2.0.6/mail_m2.jar to your PC
3. Right click on the JAR file and chose 7-Zip > Open Archive
4. In the archive window, double-click on META-INF
5. Right-click on MANIFEST.MF and choose Open
6. Add the following lines to the end of the MANIFEST.MF file
MIDlet-Touch-Support: True
UseNativeTextButtons: false
ReverseSoftkeys: false
UseNativeCommands: false
7. Choose File > Save and then close the editing window
8. Choose OK at the next prompt to update the MANIFEST.MF file in the archive
9. Close the JAR file
10. Transfer the JAR file to your phone. I use bluetooth. Select the file on your phone to run the installer.
Gmail will now refresh when you tap on "refresh"!
