Just an update on the Gmail situation for legacy devices..
I've been investigating.. really should do some work.....nah.
Some of you will be aware of a project called 'gmail-lite' which is a PHP server oriented package which provides a converted HTML 1.0
(very simple
) interface for you to log in and access your gmail via the web.
If you do a couple searches on google you can find existing servers that people have set up or you may prefer to run your own.. in any case, I have found that it's pretty impressive as far as accessing my Gmail goes from pocket explorer 2.0 on my handheld.. I would imagine it's a lot nicer when used with anything newer than my old 360lx.
I had to go through a few different servers before I found one that seemed to work on my very old explorer version. I wont post it here as it's a private one however a search of Google for 'gmail-lite' will show up quite a few that are available, some are inactive and some are great!, I beleive a search for '+pirana +gmail-lite' will turn something up.. If you are interested, try and find one that once you have logged in, displays 'version 0.9' at the bottom right. this is the newest version.
There is also a site called 'Web2mail' which is an anonymous way of checking your gmail via the web too
(any pop email for that matter
). they even have a simple PDA optimised entry page:
http://mail2web.com/pda
you can easily send mail from your PDA here with attachments using your favourite pop, imap account however it only displays unopened 'new' emails .. wheras gmail-lite gives you all your folders.
Check it out..
