Hi folks,

Got my 770 a few hours ago - what can I say, it's a damn nice toy, and I just might get something useful done with it as well! Lying on the couch while surfing the web is a rare luxury, and finally I can read my email anywhere in the house. My two year old son was very excited about the sharp and clear puppy-pics we watched together on the tablet. Now he seems to think it belongs to him...guess I have to buy another one!

Now, the problems. I wasn't very pleased with the email reader. I have two different mailboxes to watch, one from my Internet provider (a POP-account, username zup1) and an IMAP-account at my office (username zup2). Naturally my outgoing mail goes through my Internet provider's SMTP-server. The office account is my main account, and the POP-account is there just because it is there.

There was no problem in setting up the two different accounts. Unfortunately, the email client does not display the folders in my IMAP-account - it simply downloads the headers into the local Inbox folder. This means that both accounts share the same Inbox-folder. That's not the way I like it - I want to remotely browse my IMAP-folder.

Also, when you create an account you cannot specify one username for the incoming mail and another for the outgoing. My default mailbox should be my IMAP-account, having the username zup1. But then I can't send mail through my Internet provider's SMTP-server, since I'm zup2 at that one. So I have to define my POP account as the default mailbox, and separately check for mail at my IMAP-account.

Minor problems - maybe. But they irritate me a bit. Any chance of having a Thunderbird-port for the 770 in the near future?

Cheers sez
