So one of the justifications for my getting my spiffy new Treo 650 was that I could download company Exchange e-mail when away from my laptop and Be Productive. It’s been two months since I got it, and I’m finally beginning to play with that feature.<\/p>\n

The 650 is bundled with VersaMail 3.0<\/strong>, which has IMAP support built into it. That’s all well and good, and I was able to figure out how to configure it to see our company e-mail service. Problem is, by default, it just looks at the top-level folders, and only the first 16 of those.<\/p>\n

Given that I have a couple dozen e-mail folders, and that I have most of them as subfolders under Inbox, this is nfg.<\/p>\n

VersaMail also has a dubious reputation for bugginess and Treo-crashing. That may be a VersaMail problem or a Treo problem, but it doesn’t endear me.<\/p>\n

I finally, through the most bass-ackward route I could imagine (through installation of a competing product) discovered how to get VersaMail to see subfolders in Exchange — by manually inputting them as folders to download named, say, “INBOX\/project x” (where “project x” is a subfolder under the “INBOX” folder).<\/p>\n

I’m still not thrilled, though. It’s very much, as far as I can tell, a nastily manual arrangement, as well as having a single-folder orientation; I’ll need to download mail for each of the folders I want.<\/p>\n

Now, on the other hand, there’s SnapperMail<\/a>, which I’ve gotten several recommendations toward. It has a somewhat easier setup for multiple folders, handles multiple downloads, and does a lot better with pushing data off to the expansion card. I’m also more impressed with what I’ve seen and played with. Problem is, getting the company to pony up the $60 when there’s a “free” solution.<\/p>\n

The test of this will be over the coming week, as I travel out to Pasadena for a day trip, then off to the UK. If I can get a working solution, it will make my travel life a bit easier. I don’t intend to be one of those 24×7 company e-mail types, but it will be nice to be able to tie in without hauling out the notebook and trying to find a WiFi spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
