Great email experience so far, especially for the light mobile email user who would like to check only the most recent messages and do a quick reply/forward. For the heavy email user, iPhone can display only up to 200 messages per folder and lacks a search/sort feature (common on other mobile platforms) that could be an issue.
Known Issues
- Number of messages is limited to maximum 200 per folder
- Initial configuration may be tricky for some users who are not used to the iPhone's keyboard. Especially when entering passwords with lower case or capital letters (as it may not be as obvious when entering an incorrect character).
- No Search capability at this time. Additional of searching capability will make it.
- mp3 file attachments and links cannot be opened (not good for checking MIT voice mail). MIT Voicemail users might have forward the voicemail to AT&T's account or use more traditional method of calling into the MIT Voicemail system to check messages.
- Email settings (esp. password) for MIT email account may not "stick" if the settings were imported from a Mac (according to Justin Anderson). Justin was able to get the email to work at the beginning, but after a few hours when he was away from the MIT network, the password setting "disappeared" mysteriously.
