Email software for Palm OS

by Chris Bertram on December 3, 2003

I just acquired a Handspring Treo 600, which is a rather nice bit of kit to have and certainly beats both my old Palm m100 and Nokia 8210 combination. I used to read email with those by using the infra-red connection between the two but once spam started reaching its current extent it just wasn’t worth the hassle. Now I’d like to use the Treo to read email from time to time but I need a decent IMAP-enabled mail client to take advantage of the server-side installation of SpamAssassin on my university mailserver. Any recommendations?

Does all this have something to do with the interweb net?

I’ve so far found only one PalmOS mail client that supports both IMAP and SIMAP with multiple account profiles: PaPi-Mail,

The interface is a little unpolished, but it does the job.

I just tried PaPi-Mail and it seems to work mostly ok, though it’s a little slow.

The bad news is that it doesn’t seem to handle the Treo keyboard properly, so you can’t for instance, move from message to message with the 5-way switch as far as I can tell.

I just bought Papi Mail having tried the test version. It works fine!
