iPhone Users
First, you need to find out what software version you are using on your iPhone. Tap the Settings app on your phone and go to General > About > Version. If you see 3.x (where x is any other number) you are using version 3. If you see 4.x you are using version 4.
If you are using version 4:

Other iPhone Options
In addition to the traditional IMAP access method, Google provides several iPhone-optimized tools for iPhone users. You may want to explore the following options:
Gmail for Mobile / iPhone: http://www.google.com/mobile/products/mail.html#p=apple
Google Sync for iPhone*: http://google.com/support/mobile/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=14252
*Google Sync provides real-time, over-the-air synchronization for your e-mail, contacts & calendar. Google Sync also provides BlackBerry-style push notifications for instant alerts when a new message arrives in your inbox.
Update 11/20/2009: At this time, we do not recommend using Google Sync for mail on your iPhone. Our experience is that mail download/retrieval through Google Sync is usually MUCH slower than using the basic IMAP mail option. Our best advice is to setup Google Sync (Add Account > Exchange) for your contacts & calendar only, then use a separate IMAP account for mail ( Add Account > Other ). Be sure to leave mail "off" in your Google Sync account profile for now.
BlackBerry Users
If you were using a BlackBerry device to access your mail prior to our Google Apps upgrade, you'll need to update the settings associated with you BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) account.
Create a New E-Mail Account in BIS
In most cases it is easiest to delete your existing email account in BIS and create a new one, per the instructions here:
Google's BlackBerry setup instructions: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78882
Be sure to enable IMAP support for your e-mail account: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77695
Modify an Existing E-Mail Account in BIS
If you update the settings for your existing email account in BIS, use the following settings:
username: (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
password: your new Google Apps password
incoming mail server: imap.gmail.com
Again, be sure to enable IMAP support for your e-mail account: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77695
Other BlackBerry Options
