I think that I cannot have any other way than IMAP on the N900 due to that if using POP the emails will be D/L and deleted on the server = then the N900 have to be my MAIN computer...maybe I am wrong but that is how I see it.
IMAP = emails stay on the server
POP = get D/L to the device and erased on server

Is there anyone who has the n900 that has lots of emails (100+) that are being synced via IMAP? How is the performance on that, and once its synced, and you go offline does it store a local copy of the recent emails?
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...)

Also, the reported performance problems are with folders >10000 emails.
I have some folders with 1000-2000 emails and it works fairly well.

At least I don't receive 1000 spams per day plus 5000 backscatters like I did a few years ago. Yay for improved spam filtering and greylisting :-)

Fwiw, I expect I will continue keeping my main inbox on my server, and filtering emails heavily so that only personal and work contacts, and replies to things I have written on mailing lists, are forwarded to my N900. The rest will be accessible on the server as usual, but not shouting their beepy goodness at me on the N900 through the day.
Oh dear, I'm quite looking forward to designing my personal info-handling workflow. I think I might be becoming a geek ;-)
