checking pop3 email via wireless
Phil Schuman
and he showed me how he checks his email
on AT&T Wireless - the GPRS version -
It was pretty painless, using only menu nav clicks,
and NO keyboard entry of ANY email info -
1 - he connected and went to the web interface
2 - scrolled down his "favorites" and clicked
on his URL for ATT mobile email
3 - his list of inbox msgs appeared
Now these msgs I believe were actually pulled
from his ISP POP3 mailbox,
and his ATT "service" grabbed them,
as you can do with several online web services.
I was wondering where and how this is setup on ATT,
so that no ID or password is required via keyboard,
and also defining a POP3 mailbox to retrieve.
Do the other wireless carriers also have this capability
of easy email retrieval with NO keyboard entry of an ID or password -
It seemed really smooth and easy -

carrier. I'm now using a Kyocera 7135 on VZW and I configured the
Eudora app that comes preinstalled to log into my Pop account and
retrieve mail. I have the option of storing the password or being
prompted to enter it. I can send and receive email this way, without
the need for keyboard entry of my account info.

it's not so much of the "check external mail",
it's the getting to the email system merely via menu clicks
without having to enter an userID or password -
The old "web access" solutions allowed you to get to a webmail system,
but actually trying to enter a userID and other info via the phone
keypad
was a nightmare -
So, I'm wondering if it's easier in general today than before for folks,
or only for the extra 2.5G or 3G systems like GPRS on ATT,
or the Vision on Sprint, etc...

clicking Messagin -> Business Connection -> Inbox and checking my mail (it
saves the login and password so you don't have to enter it). And it's
similarly easy to do by going Messaging -> PCS Mail -> Check External Mail
(which also saves your login preferences).

This thread is about Internet email access, not AOL, not messaging.

Oh well-if you had NOL premium you could use
phonefish.com
web based (free) -pop e-mail web site.
I can check my e-mail by pressing 4 buttons -going to
net-bookmarks-phonefish (have to save this bookmark)-then one more click on
mail account. All logon info is saved at web site. Set it up your on PC then
log on from phone.
Yahoo mail also works great if you want to check your yahoo mail.
This is not rocket science - only a generic pop e-mail client on a wap
phone.
All safe and password protected and it uses your cell phone number to logon.
Again you will need NOL premium or a way to go to web sites and save
bookmarks.

Actually not "safe" at all, since your userid and password have been given to
that site. When Internet sites can't even keep credit card information
secure, what makes you think your userid and password are secure?!
The only way to have real security is to have the email client on your phone,
and use some form of secure authentication.

The configuration resides in the PDAphone within the Eudora (or other)
email software. You don't have to surrender your password, and can require
submitting it every time you log in (or not, if you wish).
The Sprint and Verizon Palmphone can be secured with weak security
(standard) or strong security (reasonable-cost option), plus the security
of having the phone in your possession.

I'm trying to understand what is possible
for some of our company users - using all different phones -
to be on different carriers,
and what is dictated by the carrier
and is possible based upon which type of service you have,
along with the capabilities required on the phone -
ie -
you MUST have the premium service to enable Internet access,
AND a WAP phone vs an older HDML or non-wap phone,
AND use an outside service since the carrier has nothing,
AND be able to store the userID/password at the website...

The same is true on GSM with a phone that has an email client, as in the case
of the phones I use. It's best when the phone (or PDA) has secure
authentication, so that your userid and password aren't being sent in clear
text.

up for email. I think you'll use the "One-touch" email program they had.
Use the computer you are retrieving your POP email so it will automatically
setup the settings.

Yep. He's absolutely correct.
