| WAPMail is an email interface for mobile phones and other small hand held devices that use the wireless application protocol (wap). It is a cgi which runs on any standard webserver and interacts with wap devices using wml. WAPMail provides a full email system to people on the move, allowing them to swap between phone and PC access. Much more useful than simple email to text messaging systems, it provides users with full access to their normal email account: They can preview their inbox, reading, replying to or deleting messages. They can create and send new messages, making use of distribution lists or address books. The interface they see is completely customizable and may be individually tailored for different wap devices. As a wap/wml interface to email, WAPMail has many advantages over simple email phone message gateways. Many of these systems simply forward the first 50 or so characters of email messages to the phone. WAPMail provides full phone based access to an email account. The user can login to a predefined or user entered email host, list contents of inbox or any other folder, read full text of any message - regardless of size, see lists of attachments, reply to or forward messages with an added note, delete messages, send new messages, make use of address book and distribution list entries, and signatures which have been setup by the sysadmin or by the user with the normal web browser interface. |
