IS SMS and MMS not ‘push’ I mean the phone checks for new text and picture messages every few seconds so why cant it do the same for email? Why does it require a constant data connection, which, as we all know destroys a phone’s battery.

Am I right?

Am I right?

I’ve really never used push email and can therefore not judge it in this aspect.

However using Profimail with my University’s webmail, folders is a must and fast reply is also sometimes crucial.

Lack of support for HTML is not the most crucial point as many users (still can’t) separate spam from ordinary emails. No matter how small there could be some security issues around this.
(Even though there is very few to none malware for S60 3rd Edition, there are many for pc which could lie resident in our phones).

The biggest thing with the Nokia Email client is that settings for most used mails are preconfigured. (That is also the case with Profimail).

It’s a nice addition to the Nokia’s service model but it still lacks a lot for the convenience for the “heavy” users.

That being said I still do have some minor problems with my webmail, but that is because the incoming filter in my university is so strict which does not always let me send emails via the Profimail client.
