Re: Allow me to read a new email inside 2 seconds
 

I dont like the way Nokia Messaging works on the n900 really.

1. Open Email
2. Click on 'Nokia Messaging'
3. Click on Email Account
4. Click on Inbox
5. Click on message

Surely at least step 2 could be removed???

Re: Allow me to read a new email inside 2 seconds
 

there is no step 2 in my n900

so its just
- tap email (on desktop shortcut)
- tap email account (in this case Gmail)
- tap inbox, will wait about 2 seconds if it recently updated, took longer (up to 5 seconds) if it hadn't been updated recently (also related to the connection speed)
- tap message (waiting time depends on email size and the connection speed if its a new email)

thats what i've been experiencing with my n900

Have you used nokia messaging thou? I find it very important otherwise I get a TON of junk mail through, nokia messaging does seem to filter them well, I just dont see the point of having the 'Nokia Messaging' step.

If I set up gmail individually then i dont get the Nokia Messaging step but it doesn't have junk filters on.

and it doesn't "push" the emails.

I use IMAP and MfE. Mail pops up in my N900 before it pops up in Outlook or Gmail most of the time. If that's not "push" then I guess I don't need it :)

Re: Allow me to read a new email inside 2 seconds
 

as far as i know, nokia messaging email WILL push your email.

for MFE (google, outlook, etc) you need to set a 'check' interval (15min, 30min, etc) in order to be constantly updated.

the push email function is the only reason i use nokia messaging for my gmail accounts.

Re: Allow me to read a new email inside 2 seconds
 

i have a problem with emails on my N900 : each time i receive a mail, i have a first notification and sound, and a couple a second after another notification..... and if i click on the second notifications, it doesn't work, but the first does ...

i've a gmail account in nokia messaging ...

any idea ?

Re: Allow me to read a new email inside 2 seconds
 

Correct, however, he said "If I click on the notification, I would expect it to bring me right to the message", implying one. Additionally, if there are two there's no more than the Inbox is the best anyone can take you lest you miss other emails.

Also, if you have multiple accounts, all it can do is open up messaging.

IMO it does the best it can already. Polling is good too, better than the GMail web client.

I only have one account and it's pretty sweet. If it weren't for the lack of search and advanced features (like archiving) I'd be happy. I'm still 90% covered though.

Re: Allow me to read a new email inside 2 seconds
 

I think your logic is faulty. It's certainly not "all it CAN do". The N900 could be programmed to do anything the developers want to - within what's logically possible of course.

It's just that they chose to "zoom in" on the shallowest level of where there's something unread when you click the card.

Half the time I find myself irritated by this and that's because I'm much more likely to want to read at least one mail than none at all, when I click the card.

I have eyes. If the card says "7 new mails", it would be perfectly OK to open the newest when I click the card, because I will have to read it anyway. I will certainly remember that I had 6 more unread mails 10 seconds later, when I'm done reading the newest one and since I usually read all my mail, it's just a waste of time not to take me to the actual newest message.

I guess it's a matter of opinion, but the way it works now is far from the only way it could. I would prefer it worked in a different manner.

Edit: Furthermore, the inconsistency in how clicking the yellow card works seems like a blatant disregard for "normal" user interface guidelines. A certain function should not "arbitrarily" work in different ways at different times. You wouldn't like it if somebody came into your house at night and moved your fridge to a different room each day. Not even if the mover was pretty closely aware of in what room the fridge would be needed the most on a specific day.

MfE lets you set the interval to "Always On" which is what I use, and which causes email to arrive instantly as it happens.
