I feel unable to handle mail on my tablet for long. A family post or two, with the gmail app.
I'll grant and endorse that. There are some very good readers; I'm happy with K-@ on my Android tablet *as a reader*. It has a nice consolidation feature. It nicely only shows the 'top of the list' of accounts unless you explicitly say otherwise and you can do a '25 at a time' of the rest rather than drown in it all. But composing... Well on-screen keyboards are pretty despicable and ever since I cut the end of my thumb off ... The editor window is awful and there simply aren't the option available in PC email composers. I still haven't figured how to make K-9 or k-@ send plain text rather than HTML. And then I miss all the 'things' that are accessible on my PC ... But really, the GMail app isn't any better than K-@. And I can configure K-@, like any other proper email reader, to get IMAP mail from imap.gmail.com. To be honest, I have my doubts about the consolidation feature in K-9/@. You can see I have an account quite specific to this list. I realise that some *NIX users make use of the email system's "+" feature, and/or procmail. But that doesn't seem to work on the tablet or at various ISPs. Apart from my 'native' address (which, to be honest, does get overloaded) I don't have many list-specific addresses, only the high-volume or special interest ones. And not all the lists I can access on my PC are available on my tablet. I suppose in a perfect world I'd have a secured gateway and would be able to access my media and photo archive on the PC remotely. But in many ways the restriction is a GoodThing(tm) as it lets me deal with other than 'computer stuff'. Then too, having the tablet rather than a laptop is a restriction too (as, I suppose, would be having a chromebook but not the the same degree). My tablet is roughly the size of a 'Trade Paperback', better viewing than a phone. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
