What can you share with us about your experience installing Thunderbird on a Nokia Tablet? I am trying to learn how to share this very nice application with the Nokia tablet community, but I admit to being a rank ameteur where it comes to development. I can write a few scripts, and do basic debugging but I’ve carefully avoided the software developer label at work and in personal life.

If I can get this running nicely with the Hildonized menus, I’d love to tie it up in a bow and share with others.

And advice or input you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Hum … are you sure ? Subprocess is a default python module.

But could be not in scratchbox as the sdk use python2.3

I have been fantasizing about Tbird on my N810 for months. I use Claws, which does things in strange and bizarre ways. I’ve been using Tbird on Mac OS for a few years, and on Linux before that. I use the portable Tbird for dozens of my client’s staff. In short, I _really_ like Tbird.

Please make this available for the deprived Internet Tablet users! :)

Aloha,
-Jeff

“The other mail client I’ve tried on the N810 are sucky, quirky, or some combination thereof — so even something barely usable will be nice!”

Totally! I’ll be looking forward to trying this!

I’ve tried some experimental hack which could fit:

I have a windows mobile phone, and have OFTEN thought that Thunderbird would be more of a killer app on it than Firefox. There’s no end of browsers for it, but not one single good email app. Outlook is really awful, just just because I hate outlook, but as a mobile IMAP client it REALLY sucks. And there really isn’t anything else. I know porting it to the 810 is a lot different than porting to win mobile, but man it would be cool.

Thanks for your efforts.
