Author email - how to access
P.Schuman

2007-06-06, 10:33 pm

I don't have a phone that will access my email.
So, just wondering, what are my options to access email from a cellphone ?
ie - if I have POP3 accounts, or an Exchange server with no POP3 ?
How does an individual handle email on Blackberry without a BE Server ?

A friend mentioned he has to run a "redirector" on his home computer all the
time...

POP3 is trivial to implement on an Exchange Server. Someone is just
plain lazy if your Exchange Server will not p3ovide POP access.

A cellphone with a POP3 and/or IMAP e-mail client would be a start.
You'll also need some kind of data plan from your provider.

Most "smartphones" do POP3 without a problem, and Windows Mobile-based
smartphones handle MS Exchange e-mail as well.

I've never used a BB, but I believe they have POP/IMAP support as well as
BIS/BES.

Redirectors are usually used to simulate "push e-mail" without the use of
BES or a Microsoft Exchange server. For POP/IMAP no redirectors are
necessary.

My Cingular/Motorola V551 would fetch and send pop3/smtp email with
little fuss, easy to set up. The Motorola V3xx and Nokia 6126 both seem
to have "lost" that feature.

Cingular adds support for yahoo mail, sbc/yahoo, aol, and hotmail.

All three of my phones will run Google Mail, either xhtml or local app.
Google Mail could be your primary app, or it could fetch pop mail from
another source.

Depending on usage, you might want a data plan, or just pay as you go.

Absolutely false. Blackberries require a subscription to a Blackberry
data plan, but the e-mail doesn't have to be based on a Blackberry
Enterprise server. My primary business e-mail is POP-based and hosted
by Yahoo Small Business.

How about "All thats tethering me to the office is email... I could
just carry my email terminal on my hip and have a XXXXing life!".

Now please, go commit suicide you self-centered bag of used panty liners.

The V3xx actually has a good email client. The problem is that Cingular
disabled it in Cingular-branded handsets. The solution is to enable it,
as described in the Motorola wiki.

Likewise most of the more capable regular cell phones. In addition,
those that run Java (J2ME) can run the slick Google Mail applet.
