Seems like good points all around but I agree with the posters who say it is a recurring nightmare. I am all for voicing your opinion but unfortunately I guess we have heard it all before and repeating the same thing CLUTTERS up the forum. Why not just put it in the official thread for impressions found here

The duplication of essentially the SAME topic over and over again is not needed, there is a very good google search linked from the front page of the forum found here

In each of these threads what you just said was said. Well, I just wanted to give my contribution, and that's it.

I have no problem with people voicing opinions but its simply easier to read a forum where you know where to go for things. Want to talk about an App go to the official app thread, want to post an N810 impression goto the N810 thread. I am going to pitch up in every post like this and say the same thing and hopefully influence the culture of doing that.

If Nokia want to see what people think about their product they will go to the "Official Impressions" thread and read and trust me, you know that Nokia people are reading those impressions EVERY DAY.

Well, I get really confused/upset (dont know the english word now) when I see a lot of comments in a lot of technology-related sites asking things like this:

― “Does it have PIM software?”
― “Does it make phone calls?”

These are potential IT owners who won’t but it. In the first case, I believe is a really easy issue to solve. And I talk about out-of-the-box worki
g, PC compatible PIM, not GPE (it well could be it, not at the moment tough).
Before *you* brought it up neither of those were topic of discussion. My post specifically ignored any functionality that is not delivered out of the box for that exact reason.

Things like the default mail client ceasing to function ( ie crashing before the UI appears ) once gmail is setup is unacceptable for a shipping software release.

Quick examples:
When I compose the message, I'd like to get rid of that section with To/Cc/Subject/Attachement fields from the top, as it takes quite a lot of screen space. Also, it seems to jump from top to bottom of the screen when I start typing a message, without a good reason. I didn't find a way to switch it off.

Folders listing, which is most annoying imho. I have example folder structure like this:

AccountName
-> INBOX
--> Folder1
--> Folder2

Now, when I have focus over AccountName and tap it with the finger, it opens a window with message list, which is obviously empty - because it's not a folder, but account. But when I click on it with center joypad key, it (un)folds INBOX / Folder1 /Folder2 underneath it. And when I want to open INBOX and check messages in it, then finger tapping opens it as expected, but center key click (un)folds folders down below. Surprisingly - right button click opens the folder as I want. It's inconsistent and super-annoying. :(

Marking all messages in folder as read - no easy way, or at least I couldn't find any. I need to dig through pretty deep menu.

Jumping to next unread message actually opens it automatically, while I'd prefer just to jump onto it's header and then decide whether to open it or not. Again, I haven't found such option in preferences.

These example are the first coming into my mind. Don't get me wrong - I can see Claws is very powerful and loaded with lots of options (maybe even a bit overloaded), but on the other hand it's usability puts me off, and makes whole experience much worse than it actually should be.

That's why we have Modest (which will replace osso-email).

Overlooking the hyperbolic sarcasm (), which makes more sense to you: a single long master thread, or a multitude of threads repeating the same themes? Keep in mind the latter has the potential for more posts.
