We haven’t heard of Momail before, but now that it has added support for Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail and just about every other major ISP mail service, it has officially made a blip on our radar.
Basically Momail is a catch all mobile service for your existing email accounts, filtering them all into one ‘Superinbox’ on your mobile while filtering out any spam and customizing them to your phone’s screen. It doesn’t sound like much but essentially it means that data costs are reduced drastically, making media messages less of a drain on your data allowance. Naturally the service also allows you to reply from your phone too, always ensuring that reply mails are sent from the address that received the original mail.
Momail is not a client that you have to download to your phone but rather a service that you set-up online which then configures your existing email client in your handset. Basically that means no bothersome fingers and thumbs optimization headaches. It’s such a simple idea it almost seems strange that we haven’t come across something like this before. Oh, and it’s free too.
Momail, the mobile email service that aggregates all your email accounts into one inbox on your phone, has passed the 1,000 mark in terms of the handsets it supports.
Examples of the latest Momail-compatible phones are Apple’s iPhone, the LG Viewty, Motorola RAZR V9 and Q9h, Nokia N82 and 8800 Arte, Samsung P520 Armani and Sony Ericsson’s K660i, W380i and W890i.
Currently Momail is available in five Nordic countries, the UK and soon, Germany and Poland. More countries will follow in 2008.
While Momail is certainly a useful and easy to use service, letting you view attachments and featuring its own built-in Spam filter, there is a catch. It is free to download to your phone, but of course you do have to pay for the data downloads of emails delivered to your phone. If you get a lot of emails, you’ll get a lot of data charges.
Momail, a free mobile aggregation service, has just launched in the UK.
The service - previously only available in Scandinavia - is designed to be easy to use, mainly by gathering all your incoming emails on separate accounts, into one inbox.
What makes this so appealing is that you don’t need to download special software or anything because Momail uses the pre-installed email platforms already embedded in handsets. It will also automatically configure pictures and documents in attachments for viewing on your mobile.
Momail claims its service can work on over 950 different mobile phones released in Europe alone - including the iPhone.
When you reply to emails, Momail will automatically configure the answer to come from the email account to which they were sent.
And that’s not all. Momail can be automatically configured to handle email traffic with the minimum of user input and will automatically check for viruses. Push alerts and remote PC access (anywhere in the world) are also cool additional features.
Momail is free to use, you just have to pay for the emails you send and receive from your mobile. To find out more or sign up, go to the Momail website here.
