You should try SEVEN Mobile email. It works on most types of devices (WinMo, Symbian, BREW, J2ME, Android soon...) and is the same for your personal service (Google, Yahoo, Hotmail or whatever you use) and you're corporate email (Exchange, Lotus...). http://community.seven.com

I just remembered Funambol. What's your take on that?

Nowt wrong with IMAP or webclients – it's the back-end mail processor that needs looking at – after all, a downloadable client, web interface or IMAP interface are just that – interfaces. What you want sounds vaguely like an extension to something I'm already working on. Perhaps.

The best overall solution, imo, is a combination of 2 Google setups - the downloadable java app and your E90 (or whatever other device's) built-in email client. I use Gmail IMAP and on all of my S60 phones, I get near-push (within seconds) email with minimal fuss, and it doesn't kill the battery on either my N95-3 or the N82 (the latter on EDGE, of course).

You would still want the downloadable client to be able to easily a quickly search through your entire Gmail archives pretty-instantly, but for just typical sending/receiving, the regular IMAP works best.

What is it about IMAP that you don't like? It's instant, and it keeps things in sync, so if you read it on your phone, it's marked read when you get to your desk. Brilliant.

I must say I was particularly impressed….bearing in mind I hadn't slept in 24 hours I was in a slightly cynical mood so seeing something explained and demo'd in 20 seconds was outrageous….

Great work by Honour and her team – like Ewan, I need the Google facility so will await with interest..

Have you tried SEVEN?

I read somewhere that RIM were going to do Google apps
