The most important thing you can do to improve you Treo experiance is get Push email. It will save time and your inbox will always be the same whether you choose to use your Treo, desktop or webmail.
There are 2 email "protocols" that allow for Push: IMAP and Exchange. An Exchange server email account will cost $7 a month but you can use Versamail very effectively with it. IMAP service can be had for as little as a one time $15 setup fee from Fastmail. For true Push IMAP on the Treo, your only option is Chattermail. Though Chattermail has been "borged" into Palm the Chattermail forums are very alive and customer service responds within hours. Chattermail is one time $40. The draw back to the Chattermail IMAP option is that you will likely need an extended battery. I have 3600 mAh and use the Treo all day and get about 16-18hrs. The other advantage to Exchange is that you contacts appointments auto sync with Outlook, requiring no Hotsync for these items. If you're like me, and can't bear to pay a monthly recurring fee for email and want to use an extended battery, Chattermail with IMAP is great. If the advantage of no extra power drain, free email client (Versamail), and "live" contacts and appoinments are worth $7 a month, I'd go for an Exchange server email account with 1&1. ----------------------- Sent from my Treo(r) smartphone -----Original Message----- From: Jeffrey Kaplan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sunday, Jul 29, 2007 10:34 am Subject: Re: [Treo] Versamail alternatives To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [email protected] Hello, Bill Motzing.

IMAP is an option that I plan on using later, when my desktop mail client gets that added to its feature set. Also, SSL is a (personal) requirement.
