After trying Snappermail and Versamail as email client apps for my Zodiac, I decided to take a look at an email client I already had: iambic Mail. I've been using iambic Mail since I bought a copy of the original iambic Office several years ago for my Sony Clie. I use it to sync my email on my Zodiac with Outlook. I never realized it also had support for IMAP ![[Answers]](http://www.mikeyp.com/css/external.gif)
servers, which would allow me to check my email via my Bluetooth Cel Phone connection, just like Snappermail and Versamail. Perfect!
Alas, I've been getting some lockups and hangs with iambic Mail, so I decided to buy the newest version, now branded as Agendus Mail. Here's how the experience went:
Late Sunday Night: Visit http://www.iambic.com, navigate among dozens of Agendus-branded products until I find Agendus Mail for PalmOS. Notice that it includes a copy of Agendus Professional (a calendar viewer app). Add to online cart, fill out purchase info, click "Buy" button, and see an invoice page. I click a button for "printable invoice" and I print it. Text on the invoice page says "Thank You! Please click on link to download Agendus Mail now!" I click the link and get a page that says, "Sorry, that download is not available!" Uh oh. Too late to investigate, will try tomorrow.
Late Monday Night: No emails from iambic (I would have expected a receipt and reg code). I look at the printed invoice, which says Handango, not iambic. Ah, they outsource software fulfillment. No problem, let's visit http://www.handango.com. I click on the "previous orders" link, fill in my email and the invoice number from the printed invoice, and am presented with a download page. The download page attempts to auto-download the file, and Internet Explorer's security decides to block it. I click on the IE security bar, choose "allow download", the page reloads, and tons of garbage data appears on the screen. Oops. I click the reload page button in IE, see the download page, see IE block the download again, click the security bar to allow the download, and see a new web page. It says, "Sorry! Your maximum number of downloads has been exceeded!" Shit. Too late to investigate, will try tomorrow.
Late Tuesday Night: Revisit iambic.com, find customer service page, click the "check order status" button. Am asked to choose to enter my account name and password or email address and invoice number. I choose the latter, click "submit" and wait. And wait. And wait. 5 minutes later, I reload page, try to enter account and password, click "login", and wait… wait… wait. Nothing. Open Outlook, craft a politely terse email to customerservice@iambic.com, include the invoice number from printed receipt (sure am glad I printed it!) and click "send".
Late Wednesday Night: Received two emails from iambic! One has an apology, the other has a download link. The link works, I download and install all software, register the app, get reg code in email, enter code in Agendus Mail on Zodiac, two HotSyncs later, all done. Try a few email syncs with Outlook, works fine. Sync IMAP via my bluetooth Linux connection. Works fine.
Thursday: Try to sync IMAP via my Bluetooth Cel Phone. Agendus Mail locks up and hangs.
