I think they've decided not to use the landscape keyboard for applications where the main page data would be too limiting. In SMS you'd likely have only two lines of visible text once the keyboard popped up. But in general I agree, leave that up to the user. I'd like to see an alternate landscape keyboard - same size keys as portrait, but with a number bad on the side.

Would work like this: If I'm texting I could just rotate the phone, the keyboard would rotate and in landscape mode the keyboard keys would be bigger. Make your choice accordingly.

You're the first place I've been able to find searching on-line that actually confirmed that you can change the port. Thanks for your update on the IMAP-over-SSL issue.
