BTW, MailDroid does not, as far as I can see so far in my environment, 
work with SM: the headers arrive into the folder, but the body is 
entirely blank. On the same phone with the same settings a MailDroid 
GMail account works OK. [I have opened a TT with MailDroid - I don't 
know if the issue is with them or with SM].

Why are these things not easy?
