Pocket Solution For Checking Emails On The Move

[Jason Dunn]

<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2004/2/emw102540.htm' target='_blank'>http://www.emediawire.com/releases/...2/emw102540.htm</a><br /><br /></div>"XemiComputers (<a href="http://www.xemico.com/">http://www.xemico.com/</a>) has released Pocket Email Checker, specialized software for Pocket PC devices that provides full control over POP3 email accounts when on the move. With this program it is easy to check accounts, preview messages and delete unwanted ones directly on a server before download. You have two options to preview a message, quick preview and server preview. <br /><br />Quick preview will immediately show you the beginning of a message retrieved during the account checking process. Server preview is designed to display more information by connecting to the server again and retrieving additional lines for a single message. You can set number of lines to retrieve for both quick and server preview in the program. Message header is initially hidden in preview but there is also an option to show it if necessary. The number of accounts to check is not limited, plus you can set checking interval for, or temporarily disable, each one of them separately."<br /><br />Sounds like it might be interesting software, but unfortunately I can't seem to find it anywhere. :?

can't someone create a ppc email client that
1. has user defined spam filters
B. allow you to use a different smtp server with ssl and auth
3. removes the email from the email server when deleted

... 3. removes the email from the email server when deleted
The built-in Inbox can do that. Depending on your settings, you may need to select "Empty Deleted Items" from the Tools menu, though. Once you do that, messages will be removed from the server the next time you connect.

Um, nPOP and nPOPw do all that. Freeware too. nPOPw has the advantage of auto-importing your Contacts email list on every program load.

SMTP authentication can be either what your server normally uses or a custom username/password. Deletion from the server is a simple matter of marking the preview for deletion and then updating to marked condition. Same for downloading, though obviously you mark for download.

Filters are a bit of a chore to set up, but when aren't they? I've got about 15 subject line filter terms set up so far, having just started bothering with this last week. About 70% of my spam arrives in preview mode (a couple of hundred lines of text, no attachments ever getting into my iPAQ) already marked for deletion. I've had only one email mis-marked, and that's because Resco's still got my old ISP-assigned email address rather than my virtual address. I figure after a month or two of learning what to mark with wildcards and such I'll only have about 5% of my masses of spam to mark manually.

Keyboarding shortcuts in nPOPw abound, which makes all of this a very light chore when one uses a Stowaway or other folding keyboard.

Any other questions? Oh, it won't do IMAP, and not Hotmail nor Yahoo either.

can't find SSL on nPOPw
it seems to have everything else right - I'm using the 2002 version on 2003.
what am I missing?

[Gerard]

Oops, seems I overlooked your SSL requirement. Well, as I don't know what SSL is that's hardly surprising. Perhaps you could write to wibble-wobble, the UK re-developer of nPOP, and ask if they would consider adding SSL - whatever it is - in a future release? They have a beta program, so perhaps you could do some testing for them.
