(keitai-l) Re: Simpler iMode Email Question

I'm still confused.

Obviously there is a SMTP compliant server somewhere in the system, or
else you couldn't SEND email to a iMode phone from a computer.
Therefore there IS a mailbox for each user. The issue is, is there a POP
server out there that will let client software access emails from
something other than a phone.

If I had that, I could launch a anti-spam service in Japan.  Your phone
would be spared any spam that you didn't want to get.

Short answer - No. Not on imode anyway. Most people are only dimly 
aware that there is a "mailbox" on docomo's servers as mail it sent 
straight to the handset. It is only stored remotely if the handset is 
out of signal area, switched off, etc.

Indeed, it is not clear to me that there IS a mailbox for each user for 
mail delivered immediately to a handset. Maybe they just queue it with 
a delivery id.

So I cannot see where your anti-spam service would actually fit in.
