Email client recommendation

I have a Nokia 3100 from which I run Reqwireless Emailviewer to read my
corporate email. It is faultless if a litle slow but Reqwireless seem to
have ceased support and no longer sell the software. I now wish to get a
new phone with a slighly bigger screen and was wondering what the included
email clients are like on the newer Nokias. I am not too interested in
using the phone as a camera and my main requirements are good phone, email
and screen quality. Any recommendations? (doesn't have to be Nokia either).

Newer Nokias are very good. I use a 6600 which supports POP3 and IMAP very
well. You can have more than one mailbox and download only headers to save
cost. You use your network providers SMTP for outgoing mail and your email
ISP for incoming. The 6600 has a decent size screen too which makes reading
email much easier than on your 3100.

When you say use "your network providers SMTP" for outgoing does this
mean I would have to use a different mail account than corporate one?
I suppose I am asking if the recipient of an email from me will see my
normal email address?

The SMTP is for outgoing mail only, you will use POP3 or IMAP for you
incoming mail from your normal email account.

Unless your 'corporate' mail server allows you to send mail from from
any Internet connection then you have to use your network providers SMTP
because you are operating in their network and it will allow you to send
mail using your own email address.

OK. Its getting clearer. I should have said earlier that the Reqwireless
emailviewer does its stuff (for me) over GPRS and I dont have a ISP as
such. I have a contract O2 mobile phone account. I can only connect my
phone to the internet over GPRS. Will the connection I make through the
O2 GPRS allow me to send from my University email account? I assume this
is an authenticated SMTP server as I can do this from Outlook Express on
a laptop connected through a wireless Tmobile hotspot thingy. Regards

Yes, but a point to note is many providers are blocking the smtp port from
sending unless you are physically "connected" through them. But, if you can
already send via a hotspot as you say, then it seems your university hasn't
blocked the smtp port:) That may change in the future of course.

As for me, I had a hell of a time with my provider, could recieve on my
mobile no problems, but couldn't send. I ended up opening a $5mth dialup
account elsewhere just so I could have an open smtp server to send through
on my mobile:)

You should be able to send all your mail from your 02 mobile account
when on your phone.  It will send you University mail as that, so it
shouldn't make any difference.

I send all my emails through which ever ISP I am connected to at the
time and don't have a problem.  My emails that are replied to still go
to the appropriate email address.
