@doministry - that's strange. there isn't a setting that's screwing it up. just try again later. once or twice i've had that issue and it seems like the google servers are just being wonky for some reason.
Profimail is available for android but afaik it is in beta, at least according to the site. seems like the native email client does what you want it to do except for the option of deleting on phone but leaving on server.
again, just wait awhile and try logging in again. btw, is there a reason you're against using google/gmail? i love their tools and use them regularly.

You can attach whatever file you want from the gmail app if you have a file browser installed. It should prompt you what app to use to find an attachment, just select Astro or ES or root explorer whatever you got installed.
Are you trying to say that your 6000 odd emails that your iMail client downloaded are no longer on the gmail servers and this is causing you an issue with moving over to using just the gmail client? If this is the case you may need to consider ditching those old emails, back them up to your PC if you can and use them only for reference. It'll be a long transition for you, but using gmail app is the way forward. And next time you use a pop3 email client consider unchecking the box that says "once downloaded remove mail from server", that's just information suicide. Saying that I felt sure gmail servers kept a copy of incoming mails on the server no matter what the client tells it to do. You've other options too, I'm not buffed up on iMail but there may be a function to restore mails to the server, if not, your last option is to forward them back to yourself so they're back on the gmail server and cut and run from iMail.
I steer as clear as possible from pop3 clients as it can get very confusing exactly where your mail is and you end up either losing data or duplicating everything.
Thank you so much Rikcy D but actually I was explaining how my e-mail system works on X10
On the other note, I think they should update gmail app with some more features.

Well my phone doesn't connect since day 1, and the problem appears every day for the last few weeks (!) since I got my phone. Everything else works fine.
I don't want to use Gmail. First, I don't want to give them another info about me.
Second, I've been using different clients for over 10 years and just see no reason to add another one now.
As for native email app, it has two big lacks:
- you can't edit quoted message in reply, just delete this
- can't copy anything from email body (until you answer the mail and get txt box).
I also can't get used to these txt boxes on Android/X10 when writing.......
P.S. Guys are you able to attach documents to emails?

Ok
Since the 2.1 update I have noticed a couple of things that are really annoying.
First, every now and again, maybe once every couple of days, the Car will restart itself randomly. Sometimes it happens after a period of inactivity for the phone and sometimes whilst I am trying to do something with the phone.
Second, sometime when I have an APP running, it will self terminate and return to the menu screen. This is obviously not helpful when trying to use Google Maps as a navigation tool.
Third, whenever the update arrows show up on the top line, indicating the phone is 'SYNCHing' I believe, this never clears until I restart the phone and seems to aid in battery drain whilst it is on the display.
Anyone else noticed any of these or is my phone in need of replacement ? Any tips on eliminating these faults would be appreciated before I defect to the IPHONE 4 !!

The on screen keyboard took me a while to get used to too and the small box in landscape mode can be frustrating. I guess an in email select/copy/paste would sort out it's frustration in your case as you wouldn't then have to try and select the text within the small box.
And, yes, I can attach whatever document I want to emails using the gmail app. Not tested it in the email app, but from gmail you also need to have a file browser installed. Try Astro.
@woz2010
Sounds like you got some FW issues. A reflash of the firmware should fix it if that is the issue. I've not experienced any of your problems there. Although with the third the sync icon did appear for a very long time the first time for me as it was attempting to sync picasa albums (it may download thumbs for albums), gmail contacts, gmail mails, gmail calendar, fb contacts etc, it also has to verify your account details the first time. If that first sync was interrupted then it will just try again later. Is it possible that you've mistaken this first sync as a hang and interrupted it, thus leading to doing the same thing again on subsequent attempts?

As I get you here, arrows mean internet connection active, which never disables by itself.
It can be easily turned off in Settings.
