Nokia Email on E71

19 Feb

Yesterday I talked about syncing contacts and calender on my E71. Today I will talk a bit about my email solution. When I had Exchange Hosted email I was using the default mail client. It was OK but it did not have HTML email and rendered the it badly.

When I moved to Hosted Gmail I wanted to check out other email clients too. I could not find any free apps that supported HTML email!! This is 2009 and we still do not have HTML email! Anyway here are a few email options on the Nokia E71:

  • Built-in mail client – It sucks
  • Gmail Mobile – Google’s official client. Nice, supports multiple accounts and can view attachments. No HTML email though and not a native client.
  • emoze – Push email. I have not tried this though.
  • Seven – This is in beta. They might charge later. Supports Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo. Supports contacts and calendar too.
  • Nokia Email – Nokia knows its built-in client sucks? Supports Yahoo, Gmail, IMAP and POP3. Not HTML yet, but on the way.

I have currently using Nokia Email client. It is way better than the built-in client. It delivers email instantly. Even with out HTML support it renders mail better than most clients I have checked. Since this is a native client so it is fast and integrates with the home screen.

I hope the add HTML support soon.

It has a nice set of keyboard shortcuts too [via zdnet]:

a: Reply All
b:Go to the bottom
c: Compose a new email message
d: Delete
e: Accept a meeting invitation
f: Forward
g: Tentatively accept a meeting invitation
h: Display the online help
i: Expand or collapse the list
j: Up
k: Down
l: Flag the list
m: Move a message to a folder
n: Displays the next message in the list
o: Open an email message
p: Display the previous message in the list
q: Folder options
r: Reply to an email message
s: Search
t: Top
u: Mark a message as either read or unread depending the current status
v: Decline a meeting invitation
w: Sort options
x: Unassigned
y: Display the folder list.
z: Synchronize

    As much as the native client sucks though you can open emails as attachments and read in html. I just can’t wait until one of these clients will include IMAP folders. Sure there’s Profimail but who wants to spend $30 on a mobile phone email client.

    Opening the attachment is such a pain. I am hoping the Nokia Email supports HTML soon.
