Do you have any sort of instructions for > installation? Repositories, pre-reqs, etc.? I did warn you, right? Look at http://trac.dave.cridland.net/ which has all that, and more. I've not got an N800 to try it on, nor have I tried it on the new Python 2.5. Please share your experiences on the Wiki there, or just drop me a mail (or a Jabber message, or whatever). I should probably note that you will require an IMAP account somewhere, and at least an SMTP server that speaks SMTP-AUTH. Ideally, you want a Lemonade-capable mail system, which involves a heavily extended IMAP and Submit server working in tandem - see http://www.lemonadeformobiles.com/ which gives a quite nice high level overview - and an ACAP account somewhere (which the Wiki will tell you how to get for free). You'll find it beneficial to get its desktop variant, Polymer, working first, which uses the same library, and can share configuration. You'll also find it useful to be able to form valid IMAP SEARCH programs, which is a stark demonstration that this is not end-user ready software. :-) Again, this is *NOT* for people who want things to "just work" at this stage. It's unlikely to erase your email, or destroy your favourite toy, but it may well lock it up, and/or flatten the battery. On the plus side, it will never download all your mail under normal operation, and my INBOX has 40,000 messages in - it does, however, appear to download all your messages. (I used to test the library on mailboxes with well over 100,000 messages, which kills most mailservers).
