A WAP site for reading email quickly - any advice?
Joanna
I'm hoping someone can advise me of a good WAP site to use to read my
email. So far I've been using TagTag.com, which allows me to store my
pop3 info on the site and then I simply log in with my username and
password and I can read my mail.
The thing is, the login is quite a slow process and I use a
pay-by-the-minute mobile phone. I suppose this is really more to do
with my phone than the WAP site itself, but I wish there was a way I
could store my login details to speed things up, or at least store the
username so I would only have to enter the password.
Basically, with TagTag I connect to http://tagtag.com/mail , then I
choose & connect to the 'TagTag login' screen, then I connect to the
'username' screen and enter my details, then to the password screen,
enter my details and finally I can connect to my inbox. The login alone
takes about a minute (if I'm speedy) and if I want to check my mail
headers a few times a day the cost soon adds up.
Can someone give me any pointers on a WAP site that would allow me to
connect directly to my username and thus only have to enter the
password? I'm after something like this:
Connect to: http://tagtag.com/<MyPersonalWapsite>, where a 'enter
password' field is waiting for me, enter password> inbox appears!
Does such a site exist or would that just be wishful thinking?

I use www.orange.net which lets me read and send my orange.net mail
by pop3, or Webmail, or Wapmail with free subject line SMS alerts,
and Orange.net gives me 30 free WebSMS a month.

Why not create that for yourself on your own site, or the site of
someone who has some web space?

You see I already use a similar service by Virgin Mobile (also free)
which sends me (unlimited) SMS alerts containing the sender/subject and
first few words of my mail. I only use the TagTag service if I know
there's an email waiting for me that I want to read right away. TagTag
logs you into your inbox and lets you read as much of the email as you
like. The only annoyance is the length of the logon procedure and the
numerous 'connections' that have to be made to reach the inbox.

have a look at www.yourwap.com - it does exactly what you want. Once
signed up you save the bookmark as
www.yourwap.com/login.owsp?ELogin=username&EPassword=yourpassword
this allows login direct to your inbox- I think it will allow up to
three pop3 accounts to be checked.

Bugger :(
The free signup process at YOURWAP.com will be unavailable for a
temporary but indefinite period. We feel that it is necessary to limit
access due to the fact that a small group of individuals are taking
advantage of the freedom which the internet allows, to the detriment
of others.

Temporary? Rubbish. This site has been down for the better part of a year.

I can't speak highly enough of wapmx - wapmx.com is their WAP address and
you can also bookmark the login page.
http://web.archive.org/web/20011031063455/wapmx.com/sign_up.htm is their web
signup and set-up page. The advantage I find over yourwap.com is that
reading mails over WAP doesn't affect the "read/unread" status on the POP3
server, you can have unlimited accounts, and it can also be set-up nicely to
send and reply to mails, with a customisable signature.
All in, an excellent site.
