    It has always been working fairly well for me when it comes to mail dilivery. As mentioned it often comes before on my phone than i Gmail webmail. But the program itself is quite slow on my 5800 and UI layout is bad with too many large buttons and too little area for mails. Also the html formatting is often f***ed up. Therefore I almost only use it for getting mail notifications.

    I wish Nokia would fix the Messaging program so that it wouldn’t eat up all the memory on the phone. I routinely have to uninstall the program to release ~40Mb on my N85 every couple of months. If I don’t all the system memory is consumed and the phone stops functioning properly.

    Once on my old E71 everything worked perfect. Unfortunatelly my experience with NM on my N97 is completely different. Slow, unreliable delivery and very very buggy.

    The latest release has not fixed any bugs (even the truncated “sync” icon in portrait mode is still there) and only added at least 6 brand new bugs, including not releasing Internet connection…

    For me its the worst Nokia application ever!

    I'd like to have a proper sync with google account (contacts and calendar in particular). Even though it is doable, the fields withing contacts don't match very well.

    Today I had an email come on my phone before my gmail inbox refreshed on my laptop.

    Currently my biggest gripe with N. Messaging is ironically with Epocware, because Handy Shell doesn't support N.Messaging for its email shortcut :(

    Agree, I have uninstalled it from my N97, it is simply not workable until you can save the email data to the E drive, come on Nokia…surely this is a basic function for a smart phone!

    I have a work account (mail for exchange) and four personal accounts which maybe isn't typical. However, on my E71 I'd get a chime and visible notification on my homescreen whenever any of these accounts received an email.

    On my E52, I can only get notifications for the accounts which I choose to make visible on the homescreen, which is restricted to just two. I wish it could indicate when emails arrive in any of my in-boxes, not just the two on the active screen, as my E71 was able to do.

  • pratish

    Yes…Same here ! Guessing same would go for SPB Shell as well..
    Plus the software eats all the phone memory.. Never thought I'd see 0 kb free space on my phone..
