This functionality is available by emailing 'timeline@emailtwitter.com' with a message body of: COUNT (ex: 10) or: COUNT USERNAME (ex: 10 user123) (A blank or malformed message body returns 10 timeline entries, the default.) Thanks for the great ideas, hope this helps!

My only issue at the moment is that first thing in the morning I only get an update of my friends last 5 posts, whereas I'd like to see all the updates I've missed while I've been asleep. Not sure if it is a difficult thing for us to be able to request the number of updates when we send a "timeline" email, entering the number in the body as I suggested. OR, perhaps there can be numerous timeline email addresses: eg. timeline10@emailtwitter.com - this will reply with last 10 updates timeline50@emailtwitter.com - this will reply with last 50 updates timeline100@emailtwitter.com - this will reply with last 100 updates Many many thanks for all your work Elliot, you have made using Twitter on the go a realisation for those of us not using SMS or phone IM.
