Why does Apple allow competing browsers in the App Store, but not competing mail clients? For me the iPhone's mail app has terrible IMAP support, but there aren't any other options.

Have you tried Sparrow? Phenomenal email app for iPhone and iPad soon as well.

Cool, thanks. Guess I haven't searched in a while. I know at one point there were no competing mail apps ... just folder/organizer type apps.
