I've been heavily involved in the IETF effort known as Lemonade, which is aimed at providing a solid platform for mobile email by extending existing email standards.
[...]
b) Telomer, which is a work-in-progress, and is a reworked UI to bring Lemonade to Maemo, and is the first client to take Lemonade onto a mobile device. This is again written in Python, this time with pyGTK, and I'm trying to design the UI specifically to make best use of the screen area, so it looks very different to Polymer.
With osso-email being crap, and no sign yet of Modest, the GUI mail client space is very empty on Maemo, with my own Sylpheed[1] port the most featureful. Since the iPhone demo, I'm not sure desktop metaphors really work on a mobile device, especially one with a screen as dense as the 770/N800 - so I 'm hoping Sylpheed is a stop-gap until something better comes along. As Dave points out, mobile email is a big selling point - especially to business, so I'd support any efforts to bring push, always-on, low bandwidth email with a custom designed interface to Maemo. Telomer is currently the best hope for this: so, IMHO, I think he should get a discount code to encourage further development. This is a purely selfish wish, as he's doing things which scratch my own itches. Cheers, Andrew PS. Thanks for my discount code, my N800's on order :-) [1] http://www.bleb.org/software/770/#sylpheed -- Andrew Flegg -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.bleb.org/ _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
