Has anyone managed to sync there TD with their gmail account?

Ive gone to the settings in the gmail account, and enabled imapi and followed the intructions for setting it up on the TD2, but i allways get a message saying account details are incorrect...when i know 100% they are right.

Gmail working with my TD2 is no problen.

Me too. I have no problem with gmail and my TD2.

did you set it up using the below instructions?

1. Enable IMAP in your Gmail settings.
2. Open the Start menu and select Programs > Messaging > New E-mail Account.
3. Enter your Gmail address (including '@gmail.com') in the E-mail Address field*. Google Apps users, enter your full address in the format 'username@your_domain.com'*.
* Windows Mobile 6.1 users: Enter an unintelligible email address (such as 'g@g') at this step. This will bypass the automatic configuration for POP access.
4. Uncheck the box that asks to get settings automatically from the Internet and select Next.
5. Select Internet e-mail as your email provider in the drop-down menu.
6. Enter your name as you want it to appear in sent emails.
7. Enter a descriptive name for the email account and select Next.
8. Enter 'imap.gmail.com' in the Incoming Mail Server field.
9. Select IMAP4 as the Account type from the drop-down menu and select Next.
10. Enter your full email address (including '@gmail.com' or '@your_domain.com') and password.
11. Select Next.
12. Enter 'smtp.gmail.com' in the Outgoing (SMTP) Mail Server field.
13. Make sure that the Outgoing server requires authentication box is checked.
14. Select the Advanced Server Settings link.
15. Make sure that the Require SSL box is checked for both incoming and outgoing emails.
16. Select The Internet as the network connection from the drop-down menu.
17. Select Done and then Next.
18. Select how often you want your phone to send/receive emails from the drop-down menu.
19. For more download options, select the Review all download settings link.
20. Select Finish.
21. Check our recommended client settings, and adjust your client's settings as needed.

Yep had gmail set-up on my td2 for ages now, never had any problems with it. Was a simple set up through windows mobile email wizard.

Oh and no didn't use the method above, I let the phone get the settings automatically from the internet.

This is not really PUSH email right? The phone still goes to retrieve the mail on a specified schedule rather than the server(gmail) pushing the email over to the phone when it receives a new email.

unfortunately, yes. The only way to have PUSH email, is when you connect to an exchange server.

Or you can use alternative email programs, out there, that doesn't have the IMAP "IDLE" protocol crippled, like pocket outlook.

Profimail's IMAP IDLE works really great.
