How does SnapperMail work?
SnapperMail is what we call a “fat client” email app. It works exactly the same way as your desktop email program such as Outlook Express – it connects directly to your mail server and retrieves mail complete with attachments in its raw unadulterated form. It then presents the attachments to other apps to open. By contrast many of the mail services available, such as Visto MessageXpress and Inbox To Go, follow a “thin client” model. These services put an intermediary bunch of servers between your handheld and your mail server, stripping and simplifying the content. SnapperMail’s unique approach gives our customers the advantage of not needing to pay ongoing service charges and their content is far richer with improved reliability at the sacrifice of bandwidth usage.
