It is basically the same thing but there are no size restictions via email and you can add as much as you like. Make sure your recipient has a hotmail, Gmail or any other home POP email client set up (ie tiscali, blueyonder, btinternet, etc). It is inifinitley easier than mucking around with an mms programe, it will litterally take a minute or two and have a 100% success rate.

Don't faff around with an archaic method of transfering data that doesn't work for some stupid reason thru thislinux based system. And as much as the designer tries, it is not a reliable alternative to standard phones. It's exactly the same process as setting up an email account on your computer and pretty much every phone available nowadays can do this. My wifes samsung from 5 years ago does so I'm sure your recipiemts does too. Just remember an mms is just an email!
Thanks for your invaulable input on why MMS does not fit your use case, it really enriched this thread and helped development of this project progress.

Regarding MMS is just an email, I disagree, there are several differences, but otoh, you could always argue they both contain (almost always, anyway) a message, hence is the same thing...

What does the error log in app manager say? If you long-tap on fMMS and click details, does it say any conflict or anything?

Problem with fMMS? Run in x-terminal: cp /tmp/fmms.log /home/user/MyDocs/
After that you'll see fmms.log in filemanager or when you connect the device to your desktop as a mass storage device.
E-mail the log to me, if you don't have the email address, drop me a PM. Thanks!

fMMS - MMS for your N900
fAPN - GUI for adding a new GPRS APN
