#34 WM03 and WM05 Version

[Anonymous]

The page timed out....so sorry if this is a double
post.

One of the hardest challenges many traveling
professionals have is access corp email while away
from the office. If there was a Window Mobile 2003
and 2005 version of this utility that would access
and pull emails from their OWA, it would provide a
perfect solution that is an ongoing challenge.

At the moment I run your utility from my home
desktop, which works great pulling my OWA emails.
Then I have to forward them to 4smartphone in order
to at least get a copy of my work email while on the
road.

I would be looking for a solution that would skip my
desktop and 4smartphone as the middle men and be able
to pull my OWA email directly on my Window Mobile
device.

I have already thought about that to have a version for my
mobile phone (for my company mail account - OWA, of course).

However, it just supports Java MIDP 1.0, which causes (at
least) the following problems:
- no https connections available (seems to be available in
MIDP 2.0)
- no server sockets (MrPostman is a server, to which the
email client must connect) (seems to be available in MIDP 2.0)
- no regular expressions (might use jakarta-regexp from
times before Java 1.4, but there are some differences)
- the library http-client, which is responsible e.g. for
cookie handling, won't work with the MIDP http(s)
connections, so this has to be coded in MrPostman.
- no file system available (but the scripts could be
included within the program, which would make updates a bit
more difficult)
- different GUI or just configure the program on the PC and
than transfer it to the mobile device?

And of course I don't know, if the memory and processor
speed are sufficient for extensive pattern matching to get
the mail information from the webmail pages.

So I would say, it is not possible with MIDP 1.0 devices,
but could be done with MIDP 2.0 devices like Windows Mobile
2003.
However, I don't have such a device, so I don't think this
will be done in the near future.
