But what about mobile email? My problem with Outlook Mobile is that it doesn't support the configuration of the IMAP folder root, so I can't use it to access vanilla IMAPD on geoffarnold.com. I guess I could switch to a more configurable IMAP server, but every other client gets this right.... Meanwhile I'm testing FlexMail2007 on my Windows Mobile device (Cingular 8525, a.k.a. HTC Hermes), but it's a frustrating beast - I can't even configure the maximum size of messages to be downloaded without intervention. (It insists on bringing down just the headers, and requiring me to pick the ones for which I want to download body and attachments.) Good list – thanks.
