You can use QuickNews (formerly Hand/RSS) to download on a set interval like Snapper or VersaMail which can be handy. It also works through hostsync... That said, I've been using RSS much much less on my mobile since I spend so much time in front of the computer anyway. If I was back traveling again, I think I'd be right there with you. Surprising you don't do IMAP given the advantages of filing and message status and what I presume must be a demanding travel schedule for you. POP is way too annoying when you return to your desk... you have to re-read/scan and file everything. I’d love to be downloading RSS in the background, but so far now dice.

VersaMail which is the built in client seems to need to run in the foreground (If I move to another application, it quits) as does my client of choice, SnapperMail. I haven't tried Chatter since I don't use iMap. In any event, I'm not web surfing and downloading RSS feeds while I check email at the same time, all of which I can do on a Windows Mobile device. There are drawbacks to each approach. Good point.
