Admittedly a little late in the day, but welcome nevertheless, the antidote to Symbian/Nokia Mail hassles, ProfiMail, is now freeware, should anyone still need a very functional (though quirky) email client for a Symbian or S60 phone of any vintage. There's a new binary from a couple of days ago and I've been tipped that it's fully working without payment.
Here's the blurb from the ProfiMail page:
- Automatic synchronization of messages with the mail server
- IMAP folders
- Attachments - view, save, send
- HTML messages with images and hyperlinks
- Built-in File Explorer
- Push email - instant notification about new messages (using IMAP IDLE)
- Address book
- Signatures
- Support for POP3 / IMAP / SMTP mail servers
- Writing mails using T9 dictionary (if available on phone)
- Multiple email accounts
- Rules and filters allowing selective message download
- Opens and browses ZIP archives
- Support for various character encoding - Western, Cyrillic, Central European, and more
- Build-in image viewer for JPG, PNG and other popular formats
- Text viewer for standard text, HTML and Word documents
- Optimized for GPRS - get headers first, then download message bodies which you really want to see
- Access Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo mail, and other webmail accounts’ via POP3 or IMAP support
- Scheduled message download
- Sound notifications
Interestingly, ProfiMail isn't yet in AppList for Symbian, though I'd hope the developer considers allowing this, since it would be a very high profile addition!
Note that the app still displays a 'demo' notice when installed - I think this is just cosmetic though. Data points welcome!
