Hi,

first: N900 is a great device and I realy love it.
The browser is near to perfection.

But the application I use nearly as often as the browser is
Email. And this is near to unusable for a business email user
communicating a lot with email.

I've an IMAP/Pop3 Server with about 1Gig in my mailbox.
I archive all my email in Folders on the server for later
reference. So my Inbox typically has only 5-30 Messages.
But I've a lot of folders.

I think this is a normal situation for a business email user.

Using N900 with IMAP with this server just hangs around.
Operation is so slow that you can call it unusable. So
I changed to Pop3. Now I can see the INBOX without hassle.
But if I delete Mails they are still on the server. So I have to
delete them twice.

I do not expect the N900 to replace
Outlook/Mulberry/Thunderbird. But I would want to have
a quick look at my inbox, drop spam, read mails and store
them to a folder on my emailserver with imap for further
handling on my laptop. (The delete on server worked with my E65).

So please Nokia Developers move your focus to email/modest
for a while until it's at least usable for basic tasks.

Dont understand me wrong. I know it's a new Device/OS.
And I'm an early Adopter buying it now. I just want show the
direction where updates are really appreciated
