Hi there, I am considering moving from a Nokia to an Android, probably
a Motorola Milestone, but I'd like to make sure all the email features
I get with Profimail will be there.

Specifically, when you send an email from your smartphone, can k-9
upload it to the 'sent' folder of the imap server? This is key for me
because it's very important that I keep track of all emails I send.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for your feedback, guys.

Satish, what exactly do you miss in k-9?Email and calendar are
probably the only features I use in a smartphone (I couldn't care less
about the camera, facebook etc) so this is key to me...
Can k-9 manage more than one imap folder?

More generally, what do you think the differences/pros/cons of Android
vs Symbian are? All the discussions I found on the topic degenerated
into flames, so I don't have a clear view of the differences...

Well for starters I did have the nokia e71, which can really hold its own. Specially for emailing with the help of its qwerty keypad.So yes I do miss the hardware keyboard coming into the nexus.
That said, you have to understand my experience with email on the Nokia is more like experience due to profimail, which is actually a paid application. So my comparison is more k-9 compared to profimail. Since I already had profimail, its more of a feature comparison. If K-9 wasnt free, I may have been more resistant to the change.

Being a person who runs servers etc, message headers played a role in me debugging problems. So that was one of the features. Other features included general signatures, custom signatures (we already have this in k-9), mail filters and rules, delete from device/server (i remember seeing it but used it sparingly), inline html /images, queue messages for sending, scheduled work etc. Alot of things I did take for granted, and that software too grew with users sending in their comments and feedback. 

I have already posted alot of features which I would like to see in K-9, even some which arent in profimail. But if i mention everything now, who knows how long before its coded, so I didnt want to just bumm my self. Like message queueing exists but works differently in k-9 OR for example imap filters, or rules/triggers or both.

I am currently using a Nokia E71 and Profimail, too.
The only Android I'm considering is the Motorola Milestone (Droid in
the US), so I won't miss the keyboard - in fact, I'll have a bigger
one.

Just a few more questions, if you don't mind:

with k-9, can you modify in line replies? Can you type something like:

-----------------------------------
> Original text
my reply

> Original text 2
my reply 2
-------------------------

Or is it like Outlook 2007 or some Blackberries, where the email you
reply to is below and you cannot make inline changes?

Also, what do you mean by message headers? K-9 doesn't show headers?

Thanks a lot!

Yes you can edit the original replies.

As for the headers, I was referring to the message headers (rfc headers)

oh yes, there is one thing which I think is a flaw, k9 sends all emails as base 64 encoded, therefore as attachments

If your SMTP server supports it, K-9 will send the email as UTF-8
plain text. Check it out in the latest beta build
