I'm getting really frustrated with the built-in email of OS2008 on my N810. Today it won't start, and that's happened plenty of other times. I get the "e-mail loading" message and then it goes away and nothing happens. Plus (and this may be my misunderstanding of smtp) it keeps a copy of the emails in the inbox even though they are deleted from the server, and anything with an attachment it marks as read even though I haven't opened it on the device. SO I'm fed up with it and want to switch.

What other clients would people recommend, and how do I link them right in to the "View e-mail inbox" button that comes off the main menu?

(P.S. Is it possible to remove that icon many-people from the menu? I don't want any of those actions but a shortcut straight to email/WordPy would be acceptable)

yeah, I've had it an hour and seen it crash three times, twice while I wasn't touching it, once while I was scrolling through the main inbox. Close, not not stable enough for me just yet. Any others?

Be sure to check out Claws. It has an amazing list of features, is stable and only seems to have a couple of minor bugs that can just be ignored or worked around.

I second Claws mail. It is an impressive mail client - works flawlessly with IMAP, and has a intuitive interface/use of buttons.

and it's Claws FTW!

That does just what I want, so far it's behaved brilliantly. The date formatting is really strange YY/MM/DD, but I can get over that. Cheers for the tip.

You'll also find you can configure just about everything with it, including the format of the date Just have peek in the preferences/options menus.

Another vote for Claws (I've converted to it 10 minutes ago, and I love it).

Modest wasn't handling very well my huge IMAP mailboxes (at least 5'000 mails in the Inboxes, more than 10'000 in a few other sub-folders).

The only issue I have with Claws is that the interface feels cramped on the N800. It's really a desktop application ported to the N800 without taking too much into consideration the form factor of the ITT. But I won't whine for that: all the other features are really excellent!
