For many reasons.. 1) its slow, really slow. I can check my email faster over the web browser on the edge network faster than wait for the spinning wheel to tell me I have mail. 2) if you have an attachment it trys to down load instead of listing attatchment size with an option to down load. Also it does not promt you about deatils on email or how long its going to take to download, you just sit there and wait.. With no idea on what is going on.. 3) after deleting emails it downloads them again.. I hate this.. Its so hard to delete emails why do it over and over? Makes no sense.. Its hard to talk about.. There are some mant more reasons. The only reason i havenrhe iphone is because its the only phone with a real web browser.. But then again no flash or .mov is a problem. My pc phones were far better just that surfering the web was a pain.. Iphone works, iphone mail sucks.. iPhone mail sucks.!!! For many reasons..

That's currently my only complaint (not yet an iPhone user, soon though, soon). Hopefully Apple works out the issues with the IMAP IDLE command.

I still prefer POP for some crazy reason (mostly because I hate dealing with a 14 inboxes + other folders). Dave: yeah, that'd work.

This way my home computer filters out my spam (just moves it to the Spam folder), and I never see it on my iPhone.
