I recently started playing around with my cell phone's data service but the web email interface was a bit large.
Looking around, I found a WAP php script to log on to your email and generate WAP pages. http://sourceforge.net/projects/wapreader/
Unfortunately, it required iconv, which FQ did not currently support.
FQ upgraded PHP this week and now supports iconv. So the wapreader works! Yay. (if you want to see how it works without installing it on your own, my installation is currently open: http://www.saplings.us/wap/wapreader.php - note because you enter a userid and password on MY webpage, you really ought to setup a test account to check it out since you have no way of knowing if I'm logging that info or not. I'm not, but still, you shouldn't be trusting some random poster blindly, right?)
Note: I found one problem with the PHP script, FQ PHP imap implementation, or imap server, doesn't support one of the IMAP parms hardcoded into it. If you install your own copy, search for '/novalidate-cert' and remove that text from the 4 lines of code it is in.
Note: The XML file for this application is miscoded and firefox has difficulty displaying it. It works in Internet Explorer and it works on my cell phone, it doesn't work in firefox.
In addition, this is a rather basic WAP email reader, another user has extended it if you check the wapreader forums. His website is here: http://mail.jsh.de/wap.php?action=about where you can download a replacement for wapreader.php(I am unsure if it requires the other 2 data files that come with wapreader.php)
I've also installed it, located at http://www.saplings.us/wap/mail.php if you want to give it a trial run. As with the other php script, you have to remove the novalidate-cert options from the imap connection settings. His script stores them in an array, there are 4 entries in the array, the first 2 contain the novalidate-cert options. Just delete those 2 entries and your good to go.
I haven't done a lot of playing with it yet, I need to determine how to change my email habits to accomodate cell phone usage and then probably extend the script a bit myself.
