Hi all,
Just wondered if ther are any alternative email clients for the n900 as the standard one is totally rubbish and crazy slow!
Cheers,

I've been happy with Yahoo Mail for years, but I guess some people have more complex usage patterns.

its not about compex useage patterns, its about having a local email client which works (and the client have very few features as it is so it should be speedy as hell lol)

I tried out the Claws port (the version previous to the one currently in devel i think). It worked well enough to launch and pull down mail. The interface was pretty crazy, stylus definitely required. It got crashy looking through the menus so I uninstalled it. I've been meaning to check out the newer build but haven't had a chance.
Not sure who is working on it either, or if its still being worked on.

well i think the n900 is going back for blackberry bold 9700. I just cant afford a biz user to have a email client on the device which can take up to a minute to open the inbox lol

It would have been so much simpler and more reliable.
