Activating Airtel Live (skip if you already have Airtel Live)
1) Call the customer care and ask for Airtel Live activation (or send "PLIVE" to 170). It takes about 24 hours for the activation.
2) Once activated. Get the settings by sending "LIVE" to 52567.
Once you have the settings enabled you can start using your phone's browser to access your gmail account (http://mail.google.com/mail/x/). This works but you might find this slow to access your mails again and again (as I did). If your Phone is capable of running Java Applications (which most phones are these days) then using the Java Application for Gmail is a much better option.
Setting up Gmail App (On Sony Ericsson K750i)
1) Goto http://gmail.com/app/ from the phone's browser and download the java application (about 160 KB). This is required only one time.
2) Once download is successful. The phone asks for confirmations. Allow the phone to install the application.
3) Goto Menu->Settings->Connectivity->Settings for Java and select the appropriate Internet profile ("AIRTEL LIVE" in case you are using Airtel Live).
4) Goto Menu->Organizer->Applications and select "Gmail".
5) Enter the gmail username and password and sign in.
Note: Accessing mails using the Gmail App are charged as per the standard download rates.
