I am so jealous sometimes. Why does the iphone have such a smoother email app?
I have a TP and an iPod Touch. Both access my gmail account through IMAP.
On the iPod, click refresh and new emails pop up instantaneously. On the TP, click send/receive, ****s around for a couple seconds, then loggin on, recieving folders, recieving headers, doing this, doing that, then the emails start showing up, it's just ugly.
In terms of sending emails, it's so much better on the ipod touch as well. Granted you can't attach files and stuff, hitting send, sends the damn email. It doesn't screw around.
Plus overall readability is so much better. When i look at my inbox on the TP, i have no idea what any email is about. On the iPod Touch, it is so simple and nice. Sometimes, I even prefer reading emails on the iPod Touch over my desktop.
