Im 2.Teil des Nokia E7 Test möchte ich auf die E-Mail Funktionen des Communikators Nokia E7 eingehen. Hauptaufgabe des Communicators Nokia E7 ist, wie der Name schon sagt, die Kommunikation. Hierfür bietet das Smartphone die QWERTZ-Tastatur, die sich unter dem Display befindet. Wer eine Aufklapp-Tastatur nicht gewohnt ist, braucht zu Beginn ein bisschen Übung, sonst [...]

Eine einzelne Email oder einen bestimmten Ordner in einer langen Liste von Nachrichten zu finden, kann eine aufwändige Angelegenheit werden, wenn man alle Emails durchsrollen muss. Mehr (…)

Did you know that you could sort your email by Sender or Subject, in addition to the default Date sort? From within any email folder (this can’t be done from the main folder listing page) you simply swipe down from the top-left of the screen to bring own the Email Application dropdown menu and choose "Sort…" then choose Date, Sender or Subject. Choose it a second time and it will sort in reverse order. You will also notice that there is a Meta-tap option shown within the dropdown, so just hold the Gesture Area and press the D, S or T keys to change the sort.

• Note that the "by Sender" sort is based off the name the sender attaches to their email account, not the name within your Contacts lists on your device.

Eine wichtige Funktion für ein Smartphone im Business Bereich ist natürlich eine Email. Hier bietet das HTC Desire schon ‘ab Werk’ recht brauchbare Features. Es gibt aber auch noch ein paar Alternativen, um seine Emails zu verwalten und Emails zu versenden.
Ich habe drei brauchbare E-Mail Apps genauer unter die Lupe genommen und werde sie nun [...]

Do you want Microsoft Exchange for all that magical calendar, email, and contacts syncing and pushing onto your webOS phone, but don’t feel like paying for a server all your own? Mail2Web may be the solution you’ve been looking for. The service hooks into your current email accounts, including Gmail and Hotmail, as well as your ISP or business mails, pushes it through their Exchange servers, and down to your phone.

Mail2Web also provides you with something that your Palm Profile doesn’t give: online web browser access through a standard Outlook Web Access client. Mail2Web costs $4.95/month, though a 60-day free trial is currently available. For more information, check out Mail2Web’s website.

Of course, there are plenty of other hosted-exchange services out there like 4smartphone and 1and1 – which is your favorite?

Thanks to not-yet-pre for the tip!

As we know that some of you have noticed, webOS 1.3.1 changed the way that email is handled with respect to POP access. If you’re not familiar with POP (Post Office Protocol) email, essentially the way the service is ‘supposed’ to work is that computers download the email from the server but do not communicate their status back to the server (e.g. the server will not know if you’ve read the email). This stands in contrast to IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol), in which read, flagged, and deleted statuses are synced back to the server and other clients accessing the same account. To deal with the amount of email that can amass on a server, many POP users choose to have the server delete messages after they’re downloaded by the computer.

Prior to the most recent webOS update, POP email status didn’t work quite the way it was ‘supposed’ to work. Email used to actually be checked back against the server, and if the email had been deleted there it was then deleted on the phone, even if you hadn’t read it on phone. From a design standpoint, that’s not ideal POP behavior, as POP is supposed to download messages and ignore what happens on the server after that. In essence, POP on webOS used to work sort of like IMAP ‘lite’ email. This worked well for users that relied on POP for their email access (many ISPs only offer POP), as handling emails in bulk on their computer subsequently handled them in bulk on their webOS phones.
