<p><img src="http://one.mycapsules.com/palm/software/012/chatteremail_header.jpg"> <p>ChatterEmail: The best e-mail client on Palm OS ever.. <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; About several months ago. I wrote about <a href="http://mycapsules.com/article.php?p=2&amp;cat=palm&amp;sub=software&amp;no=11">Versamail vs Snappermail</a> and my conclusion at that time is <b>"Snappermail"</b>. Since then I used Snappermail for a while, about 2-3 months. I was really happy with it though. Maybe it's my destiny to find a new one again. By the way, this time is perfect!! it has everything it should have such as save an attachment directly to card in a native file, store every mails in a card and another thing that really catch my attention is fully background work. Such a promotion feature like PUSHING mail is a bonus to me. I like it though it's not my first factor to switch form Snappermail. However, it's for Palm OS Treo device only. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp; First come to take a look at its ad first, Chattermail or Chatter Email, I'm not sure because everyone and some in its own website called "chattermail" but in the program its called "Chatter Email". Ok, whatever its name is. Its feature includes <br>--- True "push" email with compatible IMAP server <br>--- Innovative, color-coded "Summary" Mailbox <br>--- Full Background operation <br>--- No 3rd-party "intermediate" server required <br>&nbsp;&nbsp; Look at the main interface first, maybe it make you confuse for a while due to many many cool features. </p> <p><img src="http://one.mycapsules.com/palm/software/012/summary.png"> <img src="http://one.mycapsules.com/palm/software/012/gmail.png"> <img src="http://one.mycapsules.com/palm/software/012/mycapsules.png"> <img src="http://one.mycapsules.com/palm/software/012/yahoo.png"></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The first one is *SUMMARY VIEW*. This view is really fantastic, you can view all of your email accounts and it's easy to identify which mail is from what account without any actions whether you have several email accounts. It uses your own chosen color to identify its real account. From above figure, for example, a blue one is from Yahoo, an orange is from myCapsules, and a pink one is from Gmail. And to view each mailbox individually, you just simply press a button to change to next mailbox in a loop. Moreover, it's fully support one-handed operation by access any function by 5-way navigator such as individual mail drop-down menu, you can simply move highlight to mail icon infront of sender name (or subject, depend on your own customized.) or if you can remember shortcut, like press "d", for example, to delete an email while highlight is on the mail. All this features you might take time for a while to rewired your memory. You're gonna love it though. <p><img src="http://one.mycapsules.com/palm/software/012/menu_mailbox_view.png"> <img src="http://one.mycapsules.com/palm/software/012/yahoo_flaged.png"> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Last time, in <a name="">Versamail vs Snappermail</a>, I mainly mentioned about how good they fetched a message and viewed a mail. I don't mention viewing an email too much this time. It's kind of no significant difference. One thing that I like is it can hide all header in message view form. But as I told, it's not much different. Oops, I forget if your email is in HTML format, in 2 previous clients, you will see only text and broken link images; Chattermail display exactly the same as those 2 programs; nevertheless, it has a button to open this mail in browser such as Blazer and Xiino to view complete page. It's so smart to do like this; giving user more choices. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp; Let's look an interesting feature about fetching a message in Chattermail! <br><img src="http://one.mycapsules.com/main_data/square.gif"> <b>Full background operation</b>: <br>&nbsp;&nbsp; This is the greatest advantage of chattermail. All operations run in background. No progress bar anymore, just a status at the right bottom. Somehow while some background processes such as downloading attachment, sending an e-mail, is running, you'll feel a response of any program t
