Marc Blank's email client is a unique beast. Not only does this client have the best IMAP action going on the Treo, Mr. Blank's support is unparalled -- he is responsive and turns around solutions to problems fast (assuming your problem has a solution). Chatter Email features a fairly innovative interface that is unique in the field. Marc has his own Chatter forum here on mytreo.net and licenses can be bought in the store.
Many Treo users are having difficulties accessing corporate email because their IT departments don't provide POP or IMAP access. Chatter has good support for configuring and using a dedicated email address to which corporate email is forwarded. Alternatively, Outlook/Exchange users should also look at the OWA (Outlook Web Access) plugin.

Email Software for the Treo 600 and Treo 650

There's actually nothing wrong with the email application that comes with your Treo 600. It is a POP-only client, however, so if you're using IMAP email you'll want to look at either SnapperMail or Chatter Email. If you receive a lot of email with attachements, you might want to look at SnapperMail as it is supremely good at dealing with attachments. Versamail is the standard email client on the Treo 650 and includes support for IMAP.

Offering both POP and IMAP support, SnapperMail is by far the best application for handling attachments. It is somewhat expensive, but well worth it if attachments are your thing.

Web Browsers for the Treo 600 and Treo 650

The Treo 6xx has a built-in web browser, the most recent version of a browser called Blazer (although it appears in the launcher of your Treo 650 simply as an app called "Web"). Blazer is good for some things (downloading software and visiting WAP sites, for instance) but it doesn't provide the best user experience.
For those dissatisfied with Blazer, there are a few other browsers available, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

Blazer

Website: http://www.palmone.com/us/products/smartphones/treo650/blazer.epl
Pros:
  • Free with your Treo 650
  • Lives in ROM, so doesn't take up additional memory
  • Accurate display of web pages
  • Uses image placeholders
  • Can load images individually or all at once; can save images
Cons:
  • Slow, slow, slow.
  • Switching in/out of the app or using forward/back causes lengthy redrawing process

Xiino

Website: http://www.mobirus.com/eng/products/Xiino/index_html
Pros:
  • Really fast
  • Instant back/forward within cached pages
  • 5-way support
  • Gets images through a proxy server, so the files are smaller and download faster
Cons:
  • Ugly table formatting, plus some other formatting quirks
  • Gets images through a proxy server, so if it's down, you're hosed
  • No "save this image" command

WebViewer

Website: http://www.reqwireless.com/webviewer.html
Pros:
  • Java-based, so the app itself is small
  • Fast
Cons:
  • Java runtime takes up a lot of space
  • No downloading. At all.
  • Copy/paste is awkward

WebPro

Technically not even available for the Treo 650, WebPro rocks your pants. It's also horrible.
Further editing (like providing links to the software and actually explaining the pros and cons of each browser) is still needed on this page.
