Using ProfiMail in S60 Devices

ProfiMail is a Symbian-based email client application for Nokia Series 60 devices. It is developed by Lonely Cat Games and is available for sale and trial at http://www.lonelycatgames.com/mobile/profimail/profimail.html. The process to set up mailboxes in ProfiMail is very similar to the setup process for the native email client.

ProfiMail renders HTML markup in email messages. If you have a multipart message with several text and image components, ProfiMail renders the components in the order they appear in the message. So, you can have images between paragraphs of text even if you do not use HTML.

A ProfiMail feature many people like is the ability to display messages in small fonts. That fits more message content in a single screen. For instance, ProfiMail splits the screen into a message header panel and a message body panel to ease message navigation. However, the problem with small fonts is that they are very difficult for seniors or vision-impaired people to see.


ProfiMail also comes with a built-in file management program for the Symbian OS. It is very similar to the FExplorer file manager. Using the file manager, you can save any email attachment (e.g., images, PDF documents, Word documents, etc.) directly to your phone memory or MultiMediaCard (MMC) card. Compared with the Nokia native email client, ProfiMail allows you to open more types of file attachments. For instance, you can open and browse zip files or the text in a Microsoft Word file.

Finally, ProfiMail supports rule-based filters that can automatically classify incoming messages based on their subject line, or on the text content in the body. You also can configure ProfiMail to automatically delete messages that it thinks are spam.
