[Q] gmail access through corporate wi-fi in native android/blackberry/ipad client

Hi!
A strange thing I really can't explain.
Our corporate firewall blocks gmail imap/smtp ports ( 993, 587, ... ) to force users to use the webmail only.
Infact, outlook, thunderbirds, telnet, and so on cannot contact pop.gmail.com:993 and smtp.gmail.com:587.
BUT via the same corporate wifi:
blackberry using stock bb client -> can read/send email
android using stock gmail client -> can read/send email
ipad2 using stock apple client -> can read but cannot send email
I'm one of the lucky android users but I wonder how can the gmail client connect to mother google if ports are blocked?!
Thanks,
Luca.
It may be a security restriction applied to the PC rather than firewall.

It could be but it isn't.
There is no security to the pc, there is only a firewall.
Ten minutes ago I did a test on my android.
I configured my gmail account on the plain email app using pop.gmail.com:993 and smtp.gmail.com:587 and it works via mobile data.
Then I switched off mobile data and corporate wifi on.
plain email app: can't send/receive (cannot contact server) as expected
gmail app : can send/receive.

The native Gmail app uses Google API over HTTP and thus is firewall proof.
iCloud uses a combination of HTTP and other ports hence you can partially read some messages.
Any other 3rd party client will use the regular ports for those protocols and won't work behind a restrictive firewall.

[Q] GMail SMS chat client for mobile?

Is there's an Android or mobile web client for GMail SMS chat?
I'm talking about the Google's GMail SMS chat. Not Google Voice.
This is labs feature and more information is available at https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=106061
They finally added support for my country and this service is cheap for both the sender and receiver in my country compared to carrier SMS.

[Q] Offline email like Outlook

All Android email apps are based on a Web mail and depend on availability of the wireless connection (WiFi or 3/4G).
Is there an app for Android that works like the Outlook on the PC, that allows user having a POP mail account, to keep his Inbox and other folders containing the relevant messages in the Smartphone’s memory, for offline consultation, responses, etc, without need to retrieve them from Google/Yahoo or other Web service provider each time he needs to use them?
When you use the default e-mail app, you should be able to use mail offline. The app has an option the check for e-mail manually. I use it with my microsoft exchange account at work.
Search for a mailprover which support IMAP. Your mail stays at the webserver, but you can view it offline in you mail app.

How to connect android chat application with web chat application?

I am developing a chat application in web as well as in android. All the things have completed on web portal, I used nodejs and redis server for that. Now on android side I have very little experience, but some how managed to create a simple chat application using XMPP and openfire and also connected my Openfire with MYsql database. I can see Openfire users and tables in my Mysql database. But what I want is to connect both web and android apps, like facebook messanger app.. But I don't know how to connect both. I don't want to create user ID's in openfire as those are already in user table.
Or m I doing this in wrong way, should I use common protocol on both web and android?
Please guide me, if someone have done this before.
IRC?
