Email Server Software

Many people have asked in the last while how can they get their emails on a mobile phone? Of course, the mobile carriers are encouraging them all to use a service and a device such as a Blackberry, iPhone or Treo and sign up for a pricey data plan that can run as high as $70+ per month. That is overkill for what the typical user needs!
A lot of people are walking around with what could be called a vanilla-type mobile phone that supports SMS. SMS is text-based ‘ Short Messaging Service’ that allows all the 2.5 Billion mobile phones to support packet-based text messaging. Typical users should not have to pay the fees that die-hard road warriors do for email with pricey devices and services. So, what are their options?
Well, they can extend their free email such as Gmail through Mobile Google or Yahoo Go. However, these services require a Java client on a featured phone to get the graphics. Don’t get us wrong – we love Java! But in this case, the cost of the phone goes up a lot to get that support. This means that most basic SMS devices, those using text messaging, are out of luck since they have to upgrade their phone and upgrade their service for data, adding a few hundred dollars for the phone and $15+/month to their plan.
OK, so how about these services that claims to do email push to SMS? Now, you’re talking! You have a number of choices here such as Visto, Emoze, Consillient, Teleflip, etc. as well as Amika Mobile’s which can be found at www.amikamobile.net The difference between all the other services and ours is that we allow you to limit what you get to the SMS phone to key content and do not force you to squeeze the 200 messages a day you get into your 2×2 inch micro screen! Think of it as that old saying “Just the facts Man”! So, you can get your key Yahoo! or Google mails through AmikaMobile.net You can choose how many words (or characters – typically 1 SMS packet is 12 words or 120 chars). The emails go to an SMS gateway at the carrier and get packetized. Many carriers do not charge for the SMS packets you receive but only for those you send back as a reply. They either bundle this into a package giving you 100 replies a month or charge per SMS packet at a fraction of a penny per packet. You can get away with $5 to $10 per month on this.
So, the best advice Amika Mobile can pass on is to get a free email to SMS service that minimizes the unsolicited emails you would get while mobile. You then sign up with the carrier to receive and reply to SMS on your basic phone. Now, you would be set to get email to go!

Today’s business world is fast-paced, highly versatile and mobile. Multiple branches, employees traveling from one city to another for weeks in a row, customers from multiple countries and time zones become commonplace, forcing companies to rely more and more on mobile devices to stay ahead. As instant access to information regardless of time and location becomes mission critical, it triggers the exponential growth of mobile email communication.

Quick access to one’s inbox, appointments and tasks leads to increased productivity and efficiency, business-wise, and, on a personal level, allows road warriors and frequent travelers to stay in touch with their family and friends. Take a tour of AXIGEN’s advanced mobile email and collaboration features to learn how to get the best of the high-end technology already at your fingertips. 1. Mobile WebmailThe AXIGEN messaging solution uses an advanced mobile webmail interface that supports all mobile web browsers compatible with the XHTML format for page rendering. The mobile webmail is integrated into the same server module and therefore provides seamless access to information to all users just like the regular webmail interface. When accessing the AXIGEN webmail interface, the end-user Mobile Browser ID String (User Agent ID) is identified and the mobile webmail is loaded and rendered automatically.The AXIGEN mobile webmail interface provides access to the following features:•    Basic email access (read, write, reply etc.)•    Advanced email access (move, delete, attachments etc.)•    Folder management•    Public folder access•    Advanced email search•    Sharing and permissions managementMoreover, the new Mobile Browser ID String (User Agent ID) can be further added, therefore extending the integration capability of the AXIGEN mobile webmail with newer terminals.The mobile webmail setup involves the activation of the webmail service from the web administration interface (WebAdmin) for users intended to have access to it and enabling the mobile capabilities for this service by checking the corresponding option on the service setup page. Once this simple procedure is completed any supported mobile terminal will have access to this feature.For more information and details regarding the AXIGEN mobile webmail, visit this documentation page:http://www.axigen.com/docs/en/Working-with-the-Mobile-WebMail-Interface_454.htmlTRIAL:  http://www.axigen.com/mail-server/free-webmail.php 2. IMAP/POP3 and SMTP AccessThe majority of modern mobile terminals have now built-in email clients that can be used to connect to the AXIGEN Messaging Solution using the same settings that apply on the MUA (Mail User Agent / Email client) on the desktop systems. The same credentials are used for these mobile accounts, and from the server’s perspective the same communication process takes place.This method is very comfortable both from the user’s perspective and from the network / system administrator’s perspective. Because these email clients typically use standard protocols such as POP3, IMAP4 and SMTP, the configuration overhead is completely avoided. To allow users access to their mailbox content, no server-side configuration is required (given the desktop clients can access the mailboxes). The users need to configure the email clients according to specifications provided by the terminal manufacturer.
