Philip, this would be great. You should hop over toe the openmoko-devel mailing list to discuss more. There is discussion about an integrating messaging app. Tinymail is great, uses evolution data server, and could hopefully be adapted to the openmoko platform. > Nevertheless am I of course interested in whatever the final decision on > push E-mail will be. > > I read how people where suggesting to use the newer IMAP IDLE capability > for this.

Yes, this would be amazingly stellar for mobile apps. It appears that messaging is a big missing piece right now, so tinymail with some extensions would be an amazing opportunity in the messaging arena. What is the current extensibility of tinymail? How could we go about adding SMS support to tinymail to treat it like a first class piece of mail? Jon > ps.
