Best Zaurus Email or One-User WebMail Application? 16
strredwolf asks: "After upgrading my Zaurus SL-5500 to the much-better OpenZaurus 3.0 ROM, I'm left with a lack of an e-mail application that does POP. Short of compiling one up, what would folks there use with the OZ-bearing PDA? Ether a POP-capable mail app, or even a webmail system I can use Konqueror on? (And no, Yahoo! Mail doesn't work on it, even though Opera on the Sharp ROM worked well with that site)"

Is there a way to run Opie in a PC? Under Linux, Windows or VMWare? I don't care, just let me experience with it!

In both cases, however, you'd have to get the Opie source and re-compile them for X86 since the ipk's are all pre-compiled for the Z.
Honestly, if you've got a Zaurus, the easiest way to try it is to just back up everything and flash OZ. It's just not that hard to flash back and forth. I did it in the very early days and went almost immediately back to the Sharp ROM and just restored the data. Then I went to Paul Flinders "enhanced" (/home on SD card) rom [btinternet.com]. Since OZ 2.9.5-beta-something, however, I haven't looked back.

Does it involve changing the source? Because I have no idea how to do that (yet).

You may also want to ask on #opie on IRC to see if they have a more Opie specific howto somewhere.

It should also be possible to save the email application that comes with the Zaurus to install on top of OZ. Better yet, just download Opie's [handhelds.org] mail app.
Does it not work or does it really not work. (Score:1)

I'm even more glad I didn't buy a Zaurus to replace my Newton 2100 when I had the impulse to do so, as a platform for running the Dynapad [swiki.net] PDA OS/environment (which has an email client already).
