Hey guys. I have a Sanyo 7400 and will own a 5600 in a week or 2. What I want to do is read POP3 e-mail on it. I know the phones don't have this feature and if they did, I'm not sure they'd have the authentication required nor would they read Gmail anyway.
I tried the forwarding option in Outlook Express under rules. Better than nothing, works great but since my name is in the from column, replying from the phone would mean typing in their address manually.
So, my last option seems to be to write a PHP script for my webserver that will go to my mail server config pages, log me in, and turn on (or off) forwarding for all 3 servers and all I'd have to do would be to click a few keys on my phone to turn forwarding on and off.
This is one of those things that I can do but would rather not if there are other options. I've heard enough people over the years wishing they could read and reply to their pop mail from their device that it's possible that someone has come up with a solution long ago and thus reinventing the wheel would be a waste and for all my effort, someone might have somethin 10 times more developed or something.
So if anyone knows a good fix for reading your POP3 e-mail from your device that doesn't have POP3 functionality built in (and new mail notification via SMS is pretty much a must), please let me know.
If nobody has a solution then I would share mine when it's done but (1) it won't come quick. (2) Aside from forwardng gmail to your vision mailbox, a lot of it won't be compatable with your mail server's configs -- but regardless, I'd share if anyone wanted to see it.
So, any info, please pass it along. Thanks.
