i was just about to pen a glowing review of the handspring treo 600... which has performed flawlessly as a business tool for me over the past couple of weeks...when all of a sudden, something happened. the built in email app started locking up the device every time it checked mail.
it didn't seem to co-incide with installing or un-installing any app...it just started happening, and now it happens every time i check mail. using a third party mail app works fine, but i really like the OEM mail app's ability to browse HTML email, and alert me when i have new mail on a regular basis.
i've tried deleting and re-adding my mail account. no dice.
anyone else have this problem, and even better, a solution?
signed,
thank god there is a reset button on the palm

There is a known bug with receiving Outlook 2003 email on the built-in email client of the Treo. Don't know if this is what you're experiencing, but everyyime I receive an email form someone with Outlook 2003 it reboots the device. You can reply to the email to look at it as a workaround until they fix it, assuming you know the sender is an Outlook 2003 user before you try to open the email.
