Podcasting: If I find a podcast that I want to listen to how do I get it on my 800? I have canola 2 on my N800. Is canola the best one to use for listening to podcasts?

Email: Can you set the N800 to also delete email if you read it at home? Yesterday when I logged on I has over 200 emails that I had already read.

Thanks for any assistance.

I have used Canola2 for a few Podcast feeds, I think it works pretty well. The easiest way is, when you find a Podcast feed using the browser, highlight it and copy it to the clipboard, then bring up C2 and paste it into the URL box.

For Email, switching from POP3 to IMAP (even better: IMAPS) will solve your problem. My ISP (RoadRunner) doesn't offer IMAP, so I set up an IMAP server on my Linux box at home, and download my RR mail. I also use Google Mail (gmail), which does offer IMAPS. Eventually, I'll have all my email moved over to gmail.

There are other ways, of course. Gmail has an option in Settings/Accounts to pull email from other accounts and present it in Gmail. I just like the geeky way of having my own mail server ;^)
