I love Series 60, I love Nokias and I love my E61 and E61i (as well as my 3 other Series 60 Nokias

). The only reason I considered Windows Mobile again (Smartphone Edition only this time around, since I don't like touchscreens or styluses: 2 hands needed) is because I need a robust mail client that supports IMAP IDLE on several accounts simultaneously. The native client on Series 60 3rd Edition devices does support IDLE (unlike any WM phone). However, not only does it have a limit of 2 accounts "idling" at the same time, but the interface also isn't the best, since you can't hit "Send" and keep reading e-mails. The phone starts sending the message right there and you have to wait for it to finish before being able to go back to the list of messages. Plus for any account where you're using IDLE, you cannot automatically download the message body, just the header. So you need to click on each message to download its text, which also takes a bit. All this plus the infamous disconnect problems, which, luckily, seem to have been fixed by the just-released firmware v2.

FlexMail is the only e-mail client I have found that has everything I need and, unfortunately, it's only available for Windows Mobile (both Smartphone and Pocket PC).

So that's why I'm here.
