- 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.
