2 Mailboxes max to automatically retrieve emails?

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the Symbian world so I've been doing a lot of learning about it today with my new e90. I'm running into a problem though with retrieving emails automatically.

I entered 4 IMAP email accounts without a problem. I can set two accounts "Email Retrieval" to "Enabled" without any problems. But when I try to setup a third account the same way I get the following error:

"Maximum amount of mailboxes already automatically retrieving e-mails"

That can't be right. We can only have 2 email accounts automatically checking for new mail? The rest we have to manually check? Please tell me I missed a setting somewhere and this can be fixed.

I will be you (I am not), I will try the nice email 3rd-party application from Lonely Cat Games: Profimail
-> http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=profimail

I am using it to check 5 different IMAP account + one Gmail (via POP).
The use of your E90 screen estate is so much better than the built-in email client.
They just released a new version which fully supports E90. The catch is that it is not free (25$, after the trial period ends) but worth the price for the efficiency gained.
