Manage email in the handset
There are several different ways to get email in your handset. The easiest way is to utilize the built-in email client that is available in most handsets today.
Just like with SMS there is a ”section” for email in which you can control all your messages as well as write new ones.
You will notice when you write a new email message in the handset that it is not the same behaviour as with your normal SMS-behaviour. Write as much as you like as it will still only be one message and not split up into several text messages. You can also without problem attach images and documents before sending.
” - Thank you so much for this service. Now e-mail in the mobile works really good.”

PUSH - Mobile email instantly
The PUSH function means that the message is delivered to your handset automatically when you have gotten it into your email inbox.
Just like when you get an sms you will get a beep in the handset so that you do not have to check the ”inbox” manually.
What is needed by me/the handset?
Your handset must be able to handle the so called PUSH-protocol.Read more about PUSH in our FAQ
How much does PUSH cost?
PUSH keeps a so called ’heartbeat’ between your handset and our server. This means that some minor data traffic is charged on your card to keep the connection alive. But as the server contacts the mobile phone when a message has arrived and not the other way around, like if you would do a manual send/retrieve, the amount of data transferred is very small. You do however pay for the download of the mail.
Can I use PUSH?
As Momail supports the IMAP Idle protocol all that is needed is a handset that supports it as well. Check your manual for information if yours do so. PUSH is most common on the Sony Ericsson phone.
I have IMAP but PUSH is not working?
This most likely means that your handset does not support IMAP Idle. IMAP is the regular protocol but not the same thing as the protocol for PUSH (IMAP Idle). Do remember though that the incoming setting in your handset must use IMAP and not POP.

Mobile email vs. webmail
A computer is always quicker than a handset and where you often base the payment on speed, in a handset it is usually based from the amount of used data traffic.
Mobile email cannot always show the same things as when you surf in a computer. Therefore it is not as important that you load things that you anyway can’t show in the handset and gives you lower speed even if you have a good data plan.
Momail was created with this in mind.
