Details
What you need to gain remote access for your email
MailRelayer is designed so that you do not need any special software on the computer where you access your email. All you need
is either a Web browser or an email client.
Web Browsers
Any
up-to-date Web browser will do. And it can be a Web browser running on
any kind of computer, not necessarily another Windows system. Using a
Web browser enables tremendous flexibility: you can retrieve your email
from an Internet cafe, from a colleague’s PC, even from an airplane!
And thanks to MailRelayer’s support for one-time passwords, you can
confidently read your mail from a public Internet terminal without fear
of anyone stealing your account credentials.
When
you use a Web browser you need to liaise with MailRelayer using a
IMAP-to-WebMail gateway. Several of these are discussed in the
product’s documentation. Some of them offer a free service while others
require a paid subscription.
Email Clients
When
you regularly access your email from the same remote computer – say
from your notebook or home PC – you will do better to use an email
client. You can use any email client that supports IMAP (almost all the
popular ones do). You do not have to use the same client as on your
base PC – indeed you don’t even need to use a Windows client.
MailRelayer’s documentation lists recommended clients and discusses
their merits.
Pocket PCs and Palms
If
you have a Pocket PC then you can use MailRelayer with the email client
that is built in to the unit. If you have a Palm, Treo (or similar)
then you will need to equip it a suitable email client; our recommended
choice is Palm’s VersaMail.
Mobile Phones
Most contemporary mobile phones include IMAP-capable email clients including the Apple iPhone.
Sprint PCS Business Connection
Sprint
PCS Business Connection uses nothing other than IMAP to retrieve email.
So, if you subscribe to the Personal Edition of this service, you can
use it with MailRelayer. And this is true no matter when device you use
it on. |
