Hi awmoore - Surprisingly, I think I know the answer to this one. I use the email app in IMAP mode as well, and it has some interesting "quirks" / learning curve.

1) If you run it in "headers only" - it only downloads the headers. Opening the email causes it to only temporarily download the email, not perm AFAIK.

If you delete the header, you have deleted the email. (I think). If you just close the email, you can still retrieve it from the server.

2) Email memory. I am not sure how many emails you get, but I have 1500 headers and emails in mine. On the original 64 k card, it seemed like I hit a max, but when I upgraded to the 1 GB card, it has held all of them. It is not clear why, as the emails do not appear to be on the mem card.

3) Multiple email accounts. The email client is pretty marginal, even by my standards. It treats all incoming emails as coming to the main user. The emails come in, but are all mixed together. When you reply, it only replies via the main user as far as I can tell. This is very inconvenient for a mixture of work / personal emails.

I really wish that Opera had provided a port of their email / contact client in addition to the browser. I originally thought they had, and switched to Opera for desktop in the hopes of gaining a sync between the two.

This would have solved several apps limitations in one
- solid email client
- solid (not strong) contact list with phone / adr info
- to do list

I still use a paper calendar, so that was a non issue for me.
