Please do. I have gotten several requests for a Java version to run on the newer BlackBerry devices. I don't use Java in my work so I haven't figured any of it out.

I use a Series 60 Symbian device nowadays. I started a Sparrow-like application for it but only have a small skeleton done so far. Busy at my job for a while.

The Sparrow application is pretty simple. The main thing it does differently than the typical mail client, is that it dynamically filters. Each folder has criterion and whenever a message meets it, it shows up whenever the folder is viewed. You can tweak the criterion for a folder, and it reflects.

The downside to dynamic filtering is that you can't easily move messages amongst folders. What you'd want is a combination I suppose. Use the folder indication field and let that be added as a criterion.
