So.<\/p>\n

On the advice of three (count ’em) three separate and far-flung Verizon tech guys, I bought a Centro last year. I was told it was the one phone\/mail\/PDA\/Everthing-but-laundry gadget I could get that would play nice with my Mac and MacMail.<\/p>\n

It did.<\/p>\n

Sort of.<\/p>\n

But it didn’t speak “folder”.<\/p>\n

VersaMail LOOKED like it would speak folder. And I need that, b\/c I have MacMail in the sky sort my mail for me (junk, family, writing work, volunteer work, podcast, etc) before I ever see it. Saves time. Saves trouble. Love it.<\/p>\n

But.<\/p>\n

Versamail (the default email on the Centro) doens’t speak folder.

I’ve been “working” on this for the last eight months.<\/p>\n

I finally–on the advice of a MacGuy–called PalmOS.<\/p>\n

“IMAP,” sayeth the good folks of Palm, “IMAP is the only kind of mail program that supports folder-speak with MacMail.”<\/p>\n

I get off the phone. I look. I am, in fact, running IMAP in VersaMail.<\/p>\n

And it doesn’t work.<\/p>\n

So I go back to the web.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I found:<\/p>\n

THIS program<\/a>. SnapperMail. This Snapper program that is not cheap (you need the highest version to get all the functions you’ll need)–it’s not cheap because IT WORKS!<\/p>\n

I can now call, get mail, send mail, get texts, send texts…you name it. (And I can turn the alerts off too!)<\/p>\n

And no one.
NO ONE
at Verizon, Centro, or PalmOS knew about this–or at least no one I spoke to.<\/p>\n

So–people–if you’re having trouble with your mail in your hand-held-everything, please do the free trial of this product.<\/p>\n

Impressive.<\/p>\n

And it works.<\/p>\n
