I see no performance degradation at all. I think it's very clever to do all that it does so well. In reply to another post, yes it did create some instability at times through its initial life, but it's rock-solid for me now. And sorry, yes I should say "Microsoft Exchange". I don't know if Chatter can keep copies of deleted messages on the SD card - I've never used SD card storage in Chatter. There's a manual at http://www.palm.com/us/chatteremail/downloads.html. So I think Chatter is a great solution if you just want push email without the Exhange complications (and expense), especially if your existing ISP already supports IMAP and IDLE (or you go with someone like Fastmail). BTW, does Versamail run in the background like Chatter so you get email notifications even if you're using another app? I don't know what "As an aside, the iPhone will use Push IMAP, a new protocol based on IMAP." referred to. My hope is that the iPhone just has an IMAP/IDLE-capable mail client that would work with any server.
