Title: Email Application For Gpe
Post by: Airwolf on July 26, 2005, 09:15:15 am

returning to the Zaurus 5500 after a 9 month spell and flashed the new image with GPE.

Is there an email or PIM application available?

All i need the Z for is browsing and email

PIM is already included with gpe-contacts and gpe-calender, for the mail app see [a href=\"http://handhelds.org/hypermail/gpe/43/4386.html]http://handhelds.org/hypermail/gpe/43/4386.html[/url]. I would recommend gpe-mini-browser or dillo2 for browsing the web.

Keon - had a look at [a href=\"http://handhelds.org/hypermail/gpe/43/4386.html]http://handhelds.org/hypermail/gpe/43/4386.html[/url]. and if i understand it correctly i could download from Familiar 0.7 for my Zaurus 5500? - don't think so

Am i missing something here?

For X based low resource systems what i would suggest would be,
email - use sylpheed , it is the best email client in terms of features for a low resource environment
browsing - you can use dillo, it is very fast and light on resources.
Just forget about mozilla and firefox etc, you can get them to run but the speed is horrible.

I can't use Sylpheed from OZ 3.5.3 feed on a Collie, every time I run it the application starts but widgets won't react to taps.

I suggest Minimo.

I installed OZ/GPE images yesterday onto my Spitz and as far as I recall Sylpheed was already installed on some of them. And it seemed to work as well, although I didn't configure it.

Anyone else notice that Minimo doesn't allow you to back up to previous pages?

Run sylpheed for the first time via ssh -X on your browser. Make all necessary adjusts for running on 240x320 (I used smaller fonts, turned off iconbar and statusbar and panned the messages in a separate window). After that run on the Z. Works... not great, but works
