Web-Based Email in S60 Smartphone


If you use web-based email services, such as Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, Gmail, and AOL Mail, you can check email directly from your phone's web browser. Most popular web-based email services offer WAP interfaces that work with almost any phone browser. The advantage of this approach is its simplicity. You do not need to configure the email servers on the phone. You do not even need a high-end data plana regular WAP browser will suffice in many cases.

Many ISPs or corporate email systems also provide web interfaces. But they are typically HTML-only. So, you need an HTML-compatible browser on the phone to access those services via the Web].

However, the WAP interfaces do not support all advanced features of the web-based email service. HTML message formatting and attachments are not supported. But long messages are divided into multiple pages for easy reading on mobile phones.

Again, HTML formatting or file attachments are not supported. If you click the To or Cc link on the message composition form, you will be able to select recipient addresses from your Yahoo! address book.
