N800 Mail Question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Thanks, Fred.  That is what I do also; however, I also travel a lot and
whenever the mail package polls it lights up the screen (even when locked).
I use my N800 as my alarm clock and having the screen 'awake' when it polls
(actually when it finds an e-mail to download) is very irritating as I
shutdown my e-mail package @ home when I'm on the road.

I do agree about setting a default mail program - that would be a great
feature! Nokia...... :-) And there's no question about the seamless upgrades
- totally agree.

Nick.

I see the "email polling" as more of a feature than a problem.  My SOP 
is to just ignore the built in email program as much as possible.  The 
polling is a very minor side show in most respects. As part of ignoring 
it, I set it so it deletes mails older than a couple days old...  or 
something like that.

 It would be nice to be able to configure Claws (or whatever email 
program one uses) as the default email program.  I suppose that will 
happen at some point as development moves forward. For all I know, it's 
possible now, if one knows how to poke the right buttons.  IMHO, there's 
other things that ought to take a higher priority, like seemless OS 
upgrades. 

Always, Fred
