And instead of waiting for a solution, why don't you go to Maemo Brainstorm and add a solution there a make people brainstorm about how to better add threaded support in Modest (the built-in e-mail client)?
It's the best thing to do.

In the meanwhile I am still waiting for Nokia to let the cat out, release date of course ! , absolutely no idea if I will get this phone when I really need it. My G1 does what I need now with emails and rooting it gives me more development options for the moment.
Will browse through Maemo brainstorm now.

Claws Mail has been ported to previous Maemo releases. It may be ported to Maemo 5 also.
I think the UI is a bit overblown for a tablet.

something in brainstorm:
there is an idea named different but the idea is similar (or at least suggested solutions), searching in your mailbox with sub-folders and so on is not realy nice with modest atm
here the link to the brainstorm-stuff

As an experiment, I tried to build the current release (3.7.3) in Fremantle + libetpan & friends from extras-devel. It built fine (./configure --enable-maemo is all it took) and the resulting binary (I haven't packaged it or anything, just copied over and ran from the command line) works :-)
There are various minor UI glitches here and there (like lack of full screen) and it lacks PGP (support due to the lack of libgpgme at the moment), but otherwise it's quite usable:

If you know the answer / discussion lies in some other thread please direct me there and we can close this one.
Thanks in advance for replying to my query.

IMHO this may be a deal breaker for some. As for me I would be happy enough to wait for a solution as well in the near future.
