None. I use it daily as my default mail application.

I only wish it had the poll feature when you send a message.

i turned off the 'push' feature when setting up my emails. so far its about the same as the stock client.. yet mine actually checks every 3 hours.. unlike the stock which stops working after a few days.

Hmm.. I wonder should I have disabled push... I setup my yahoo and aol mail and set polling to every 30 mins today just to see how the battery effect would be.

well yahoo set up 'automatically' and i'm not sure where to go to turn off 'push'

when i manually set up my other mail.com/post.com accounts it had a check box for 'push' during the initial set up screens. after i set it up to push, i could never find out where to turn it off in the settings.. so i deleted the account and set it up again, this time disabling push.

with push the battery was draining too fast IMO
