local folders should work fine and we could make other imap servers work.
I am not sure right now, but we might miss a button to create local folders.

I agree, this needs work by someone to write the necessary resources, though.

We could hide this a bit, if we'd put the backend startup at boot time. So it 
would feel faster the first time you open a frontend. Otherwise we are at the 
border of what the device can handle.

Uh at least http links should work for the webbrowser. As far as I remember
there were some defect with default browsers on Maemo5, but I am not sure 
anymore.

I am not sure they should be there. Maybe you should file an issue with a 
screenshot.

Cool!
If you like to help, what can be done is that you are trying to make sure that 
we have a qualified report on bugs.kde.org. This raises the chances that any 
developer will pick it up. Come back here with issues that you believe are of 
high importance or any other summary. P

Of course you are already helping by testing Kontact Touch! Thanks!


Best,
Bernhard
