I read your article and it is really great. Can you help? I would love to try the Opera, but first you said to download IBM Websphere and I have gone to 8 different IBM Websphere sites. What is the file name to download and/or a specific web site? I really would like to use these on my Palm Treo 680. Thanks Matt,

That is hogwash about Versamail "crashing the os". You people complaining about Versamail, probably have your Treo’s email accounts configured incorrectly.

You made the statement: ". . . powerful Opera Mini . . . You’ll need the IBM Websphere runtime to support it. . ." Pray tell, where do I find the "IBM Websphere runtime" and which version of Opera Mini do you have in mind? TIA, EM Thanks for the article, Matt. I’m using a Treo 755p.

But the idea here is to ease people who haven't used mobile email into using it. Versamail's a fine start. It's not a piece for advanced, know-what-the-hell-they're-actually-doing users. :P @ Kent: Yah, chattermail is better. But the idea here is to ease people who haven’t used mobile email into using it.

Aside from the fact it is buggy as hell and typically crashes the OS, it fares poorly when stacked against rival software, especially competing platforms. It makes WM Mail look good, and that's saying something. ChatterMail is unparalleled, so good in fact that Palm actually acquired it. No doubt we've seen the last of VersaMail. Then again we've seen the last of PalmOS too. VersaMail is awesome? *stunned disbelief*

ChatterMail is unparalleled, so good in fact that Palm actually acquired it. No doubt we’ve seen the last of VersaMail. Then again we’ve seen the last of PalmOS too.

This was more geared towards them. Jason: Yes, those are the ones currently on the market, but there are a LOT of 650’s out there from the three carriers that had them.

The "phone screen" launcher allows for apps on the card without a problem, too. - To say that Versamail is "awesome" is like saying that the Dodge Neon is a supercar. If you want to know how email on the Palm is made to be used, buy Chatter Email -- this is the one application that has absolutely no rival. No free, bundled, or commercial email app for the Palm can hold a candle to the features of Chatter.
