Some cellular/wireless companies and email providers offer real-time live access to email—how does IceMAIL differ from this? What about real-time access via my wireless PDA/SmartPhone?
IceMAIL does provide real-time live access to your entire account and not just email, but your calendar, tasks, contacts, and notes. For wireless PDA/SmartPhone access, you can still access your IceMAIL account via a web browser logging into Outlook Web Access or Outlook Mobile Access (i.e. WAP). While many vendors would have you think this real-time access for your PDA is a good thing, our years of experience and thousands of customers disagree. What you really need for your wireless PDA is the ability to send/receive email, appointments, contacts, notes, etc. while you are on the go. This means your PDA/SmartPhone will be in and out of cellular/wireless coverage as you travel/move. Trying to use a “real-time” or browser-based access to your email requires you to have a perfect cellular/wireless signal (i.e. don’t move) or else you will suffer web timeouts, dropped sessions, etc.
