Push email on the Nokia N75

RoadSync Icon

I've spent some time with a couple of push email applications on my N75 and I'm not really satisfied with any of them. For the longest time I have used Nokia's free application MailforExchange v1.3, although the application is very easy to setup and doesn't use a lot system memory, it lacks in the features area.

RoadSync by DataViz is host to many more features, but lacks some of the basic core application features. Overall I love RoadSync and have kept using it since I purchased a license for $50.00, but here are some things that drive me nuts about RoadSync.

1. No visual notification of new email: Unlike M4E or Emoze, there is no visual notification of new email with RS. When using M4E you get two different notifications. One is, "New Email" pops up as a screen dialog similar to a new text or voice mail. M4E also puts a "@" symbol as a system indicator at the top of the screen. RS has neither one, so if I miss the audible alert, I'm out of luck until I happen to check under messages.
2. Lack of soft key "Shortcut". I have my left soft key set to "New Message", while using M4E I  get an option of "New Message > MailforExchange", but there isn't a option under this menu for RS.

On the flip side, here are some things that I love about RoadSync and think should be included in M4E.

1. Flag Email support: Not only can I view and set "important" levels on outgoing email, but I can also flag incoming email and set due dates and priority levels.
2. Event Support: Using RS I am able to accept/deny/suggest/etc. on an incoming event invitations
3. Search Email: If your exchange server is running Exchange2007 then RS supports mailbox search and multiple folder structures.
4. Adjustable Font size: speaks for it's self
5. SharePoint and UNC file access: Unbelievable!!

I included a link to download version 1.3 of M4E at the top of the page and here is a link to download the RoadSync Demo.  Also getting an honorable mention is Emoze. Check it out Here
