I tried paring my inbox and sent email (largest folders, had probably 10 years of email in them) to about 300-700 messages and archiving the rest temporarily to test, but the client still crapped out.

Anyone having success against IMAP with any size folders? Or is it a folder size independent problem.

This is why I'm running an E71 in parallel (decent MfE performance and great IMAP client with profimail) and I have faith that Nokia or a 3rd party will address this before long. I'd like to get rid of the E71 and rely on just the N900.

My experience with the N900 has been great, seem more errors of omission than comission. But the email client is an exception. I probably would have been happier if they left it out and promised a decent mail client in a committed to future firmware release.

I've resorted to the browser to do IMAP email.

@ spanner

when i choose settings->connect automatically->my provider - i do not get connected to the internet! what happens is that whenever i go online like for e.g open the webbrowser, refresh the mail client by pressend "send/receive" it goes online and doesnt ask me which connection i want. if i choose settings->connect automatically->always ask, it asks me which connection i want when i open the browser, refresh mail etc.

is my n900 not doing what it is supposed to do or yours/ his? would be nice to hear a third person give feedback :D:eek:






but thats exactly what i chose, if you dont want it to refresh simply choose "never" and it wont go online.





that exactly is my main concern, dont want to be online 24/7 just for the email client because of the battery performance...i want it to go online receive mail and forward it to me every hour, that makes more sense to me.


update: ok, i think i know whats going on... i set the search interval to never under settings-> internet connections assuming that it was searching for wlan (i have no wlan)! upon changing it to every 5 min it immediately went online...

but if its not searching for wifi, what exactly is it searching for every 5,10, 15 etc. minutes??
