soonr - sooner or later.
I have been using soonr for a long time now, but honestly, it has been on and off. when I am too busy, getting a lot of mails, I tend to check my emails from the road (have it as home page on my pocket IE).
it has been a very good user experience so far. thing I like about this little framework, is well, its little-ness. 
there has been one constant enhancement that I would love to see, and I am sure, other users would love too.
seeing that soonr has the framework in place, to relay your emails from your desktop to the central servers, from where the devices can pull the information via a browser. so far so good, and it works flawlessly.
what I am looking for is, why cant soonr team write a messaging client for windows mobile 5, such that it installs it within the messaging framework on the device, and a small layer that would translate the information on soonr’s central servers and push those out to the devices. this eases out the small ‘open-browser-to-see-emails’ issue & blends the information with the right service on the device, messaging service, which would allow soonr to leverage the device’s notification system effectively.
hope someone from soonr reads this and lets us know whether this is in plans or is not feasible given the current architecture.
but all in all, a wonderful service.

Hey, great suggestion. Did you know that SoonR has an IM interface for Yahoo IM? We did some work on an AOL version, but their client is much more restrictive. As you know, SoonR covers a lot of ground, with mail being one of them. The IM interface fell by the wayside as we brushed up the WAP and Ajax based work.
I can assure you that our team will see your post and give it some consideration. Thanks for the mini-review and please continue to forward your thoughts and observations. One of the reasons we are in a public beta is to get feedback from users.
