That's great if you're using it at destinations that always have wifi, but for places in between offline-enabled apps are much better. For me, they're essential. IMAP with gmail should bridge the gap nicely, but the email program on my N810 sucks hard; won't start most of the time, when it does start it gets errors, and then just when I'd given up on it and switched to Claws Mail, the other mail program decides to start itself up and download all 2000 messages - but just the headers. That's a crappy program. I can't believe they let it out the door.

Claws Mail is pretty good - very powerful and works almost 100% on the N810. My only issue is that I can't set it to just download the last 3 days worth of messages or something, which would be a nice way to save space. And I still seem to have problems only getting the headers. Is that a gmail thing?
