I like dumping all my emails into one folder on the n810 because on the mobile device I just simply go through the emails one at a time and act on them. I do mix in personal and work emails but that doesn't bother me as I can just skip any messages I don't want to deal with at the moment, to me that is easier than the whole switching account, folder option.

As frustrating as these issues are I don't like claws better. I even played around with ssh'ing into my home machine and running my home email over X, it is just too slow that way. If comcast would become a real ISP and give me some upload side it would probably work fine, then I wouldn't have a need for any email client on the n810 tim _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
