I am drifting more and more to using my PPC as my main mobile computing device, I find I can do most of the things I need to on my PPC. But I am looking for a flexable e-mail client, something more like the actual Outlook that comes with Microsoft Office. Something that lets you make folders and mail filters. Is there an E-mail client for PPC out there that is more flexable than the simple "Inbox" client that comes stock with PPC2002 and 2003 OS?

The only thing I know which comes close enough is the mail app from the same guys that created Pocket Informant.

Yes. @Mail supports IMAP4.
But not IMAPS, i.e., IMAP4-over-SSL. Rumor has it that the next version will. In the meantime, you can use a port of stunnel -- that's what I do -- with either Inbox or @mail.

Unfortunately we are waiting on a complete rewrite of @mail, now to be called WebIsMail or something, for WM2003 compatibility.

If you're using IMAP, the inbox client that comes with the PPC works fine with folders, etc. I use mine to access two imap accounts I have, and it works just dandy.....

I use imapS;), and as Janak pointed out, there don't seem to be any mail clients for pocket pc that support it. :cry: I might have to write one, hmm.

The 2002 version doesn't work with WM2k3?

Edit: oh, sorry, I just found the blurb on their web site. Bummer. I hope they hurry, because nPOP is pissing me off.
