Of course there is a huge trend towards mobile devices - only today I read an article about "mobile first". It said that the younger generation both in developed and developing countries access the internet via a mobile device before they even get their first computer, and of course the mobile market is growing. K-9 is not the only email client for Android phones, but it's the one I'm using. I would say TB! has a (growing) market there. Alas, it is up to them. -- Cheers, Thomas. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 5.4 under Windows 7 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 5.3.8.7 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
