Mail client on N900 is terrible. When open it the circle rolls for half a minute, then when I try to open a mail it says failed to retrieve message from server, or something like that on some letters. Yesterday I got important mail and it looked like that

Hello,

?

John Steart
Address
Phone

WTF?

Today I checked my mail when I was still in bed, oh great no new mails. NO! There was 5 when I logged in on gmail.com.

Any solutions?
Thanks

Sounds strange to me. Here everything works fine, push email as well.
Which provider do you use?

works fine here also, both gmail and windows live mail, not sure what the problem could be, do you use pop3 or imap? maybe check the settings in googles mail site itself?

Yes, it is.
The fact that you can't mark more than one messages as read alone makes it awful.

OP, while I agree that the client is not exactly great, I must say that the problems you describe does not sound like the common flaws of the email client. Do you have a giant mailbox? I hear that big mailboxes can cause problems.
