Hi guys,

I'm a lucky and recent N900 owner and as many here (and out there) get really frustrated by email client coming with this phone (way too slow, even with last update, unreliable). I tried alternatives like claws, but GUI is barely usable on this tablet.

I've seen some are using mutt. So I've been able to setup my scratchbox and cross-compile mutt with slang/ssl/imap/hcache compilation options. Testing it on my N900 accessing a GMail account with IMAP works good, except I can't read my emails offline, that is when there's no phone carrier/wifi. When network environment is poor, it becomes very slow, barely usable too...

I'm planning to use offlineimap or isync to grab/sync emails from my IMAP account (remote) to a maildir (local) and let mutt points to this maildir. This way I'll be able to read my emails offline as needed.

Before diving into this, is there any recommendations you guys could have ? Any other alternatives ?

TIA
Cheers
Seb
