I don't get to do deletion on my accounts that often (busy busy). Part of the reason why I'm buying the n900 is so I can keep up to date with emails. But I was wondering if I should go with a POP solution or a IMAP solution, my current gmail and hotmail accounts are a mix of both but I was thinking of switching them all to IMAP that way everything is synchronized. (though when Thunderbird downloads them they're still not marked as read already...)
as andre said, there are some issues reported with imap and large number of mails. at the moment i solved it by moving all inbox messages to a subfolder (inboxarchive). that way day-to-day email is snappy and pleasant. when browsing large number of emails eventually gets convenient i might move old mails back from the subfolder again (which, i should add, is still accessible on the n900).
