ok Mr. Dev as you know i emailed you earlier that i was running some tests for maildroid vs k9.
my experiments solely tested the IMAP idle push capability of both clients for yahoo and gmail. i ran a total of 10 emails to see response rate, frequency, consistency, CPU usage, memory usage, and of course battery usage (I have the EVO what do you want)
Maildroid vs k9
1. i hate the ads, they need to go. i understand an ad free version is coming but the fact that they are integrated within personal information is not really my style.
2. it responds to IMAP idle push for yahoo AND gmail consistently between 10 sec to 1 min.
3. using Systemlite panel, MD uses more memory than k9 (43 vs 36 M) this is resulting for them being active for 50 minutes.
4. MD cpu usage is 1 min 51 sec in 54 mins (3.2%) vs k9 1 min 25 sec in 51 min (2.9%)
5. MD is BETTER at getting yahoo mail than k9, which takes a little longer and sometimes doesnt even put it in the right folder.
6. MD interface is good. i like the simplistic view although some options for manipulation would be nice.
7. it would be nice to be able to cut and paste from the email itself as well as a good handling for attachments.
8. overall, getting more frequent emails results in MD using less CPU compared to k9 (although still using more mem, but becomes irrelevant )
9. it would be useful to have "folders" so that you can clean your trash/spam etc...i dont know what "flagged for deletion" means.
so yea thats it. please comment i want to hear your feedback (and the Dev's) so my final conclusion is
I am sold MD > k9 in the above conditions. i want to make this thing better so it will be even more useful in the final version. oh wait let me rephrase that....Maildroid BETA is BETTER than k9
thank you!!
