2 Phone Email Clients

If you have a mobile phone, then there is no better email system that Net2MAX Group Email!

1. Numerous ways of accessing email for BOTH high-end and low-end phones. You do not need expensive Blackberry hardware to access your email from your phone and you do not need to pay the even more expensive Blackberry monthly charges.
2. Contact list synchronisation means no more double entry of phone numbers, no more losing your phone and losing your contact list.

IMAP Idle

Top range mobile phones or PDAs with built-in email clients should use Group Mail's IMAP IDLE feature. IMAP IDLE will give you a push type experience without the SMS cost and less compatibility problems across different mobile networks.

Push Email

Middle range mobile phones or PDAs with Java, Windows, Blackberry, Palm, Symbian can download SyncML client software into their device to use Group Mail's Push Email feature. Push Email is might not work on ALL phones and PDAs, in those cases the WAP feature (discussed below) can be used.
