@Rachel – I replaced the Treo with an iPhone last July, so I am going from memory here.

Snappermail did work for me. It reliably got/sent mail using the basic settings, i.e. nothing unusual or undocumented. This page answers several questions:

Snappermail Support

You can download it and try it for 30 days. Snappermail is the only mail application that worked for me on my Treo.

I use an unlocked Cingular Treo 650 with the latest GSM updater and Versamail 3.5 through my cingular service to send and recieve email from AOL.
Like others I use
imap.aol.com and smtp.aol.com along with 993 with SSL checked for incoming and 25 with SSL and ESMTP checked for outgoing mail.
Also used with version 3.1 prior to upgrading. Had the reading body error at first untill i ended up with these settings. Seems to be different for every possible combination of service and phones used.

Hey Mike,

I gave up on trying to get Versamail to function. I googled it and found multiple references to “…Versamail not working”, or similar.

That’s why I switched to Snappermail. I used the demo version (I recall it being a 30 day demo), and it wokred flawlessly. I purchased the full version and have been using it since.

This is an especially good endoresement of Snappermail, as I use Dovecot for my IMAP server. Dovecot isn’t “officially” supported (at least not when I checked last), but it does in fact work – flawlessly.

Same here: Treo 650, Versamail 3.0c, Verizon:
“Time out reading body” using the wireless connection.
Used to work fine when first installed. Syncs OK using cradle. Any resolutions yet?
