If you bought the n900 for email the you bought the wrong phone...sorry
The n900 give you power and freedom, it is for the hacker, the power user, the sort of user who wants freedom, it gives you the freedom of root priv, ssh etc, you can hack the n900 to do anything
Dont blame the phone if you bought the wrong device......
If you want email then you have not done your homework, go buy an iphone or android and stop whining.
I usually check my mail via pop3 in the terminal, simples really, try doing this on the iphone !! you can't apples give you no freedom !!!
First I open a terminal
Then telnet port 110 into mail server ip or fqdn of server
enter user <username>
then pass <password>
then its quite easy
list shows mbox items
then to read an email simply enter retr <msg no>
you can delete spam/old messages with dele <msg no>
and dont forget the quit command to cleanly close the session.

Sorry garyc2010, but did you have mushrooms for breakfast or what?
To read email and their attachments on a mobile phone has been standard point-and-click functionality for many years, also on Nokia phones. That Nokia can't get it right on one of their most expensive models is inexcusable.
And the babble about checking email from a terminal window by telnet? Are you for real? Why don't you use mail pigeons instead? So much easier....

After reading that bug report I have to ask that WHO sane people even tries to do anything else with current e-mail program than just check messages. I would go nuts if I tried to do anything else with it.
Still bug report is valid, but IMO modest is maybe just too broken to be fixed.

I must agree with the others here. It is a shame the emailclient in n900 is broken.
A good email and calendar, sync functions should be hipriority in next Maemo/Meego device else nokia will loose every customer out there. There are plenty of other devices out there and only some geeks care about full freedom. I am one of those who wants freedom and love my N900 but in the same way I must say, if they dont care about this good standard functions like email, calendar, syncing we all will loose at the end... they will probadly loose even more customers and for also funboys like you and geeks like me will loose at the end cause if nokia doesnt make money on meego they will stop make geekphones/Meego based phones.
Infact they need lots of "normal" customers too for the meego project to succes cause there is no money in just focusing on some funboys like you or geeks like me.
Sorry my poor english :-(
