Active Mail

Cibenix » Active Mail

Active Mail is an e-mail download manager, greatly increasing the ease of using the Nokia Series 60 as an e-mail client, increasing convenience and reducing costs by automatically downloading only those e-mails you are specifically interested in. With Active Mail and the Nokia Series 60 phone you are virtually always connected to your mailbox.

Features

Mail Retrieval Scheduler

Active Mail allows you to schedule the download of e-mail using custom-defined schedules. For example, you can configure Active Mail to download e-mail every morning at 7:30am, and have your e-mail ready on your phone at the start of the day.
With the scheduler you have the option to define which components of the email will be downloaded (i.e. headers, message body, and attachments) depending on size.

Mail Retrieval Rules

Active Mail’s retrieval rules are designed to emulate the decision making processing you use when manually deciding which e-mails to download. Rules can be defined to determine which e-mails are downloaded based on sender, subject, size, and priority. You can also define rules to automatically delete e-mails based on the same criteria, thus helping to manage spam.

SMS Notifications Processing

If your e-mail services provide a feature where you are notified by SMS when new e-mails are available in their inbox, Active Mail can process these notifications. Upon receipt of such a notification Active Mail will automatically connect to your e-mail service and download the new mail.

Marking Mail Headers for Full Download

Often when you receive a large e-mail you may wish to have that email available locally on your phone, but do not wish to take the time to manually download the email. The Active Mail message browser displays all e-mails which have not yet been fully downloaded. Through the browser you can mark those e-mails that you wish to download the next time you check your email

Manual Mail Retrieval

In addition to the automated e-mail retrieval options previously described, Active Mail supports manual (interactive) download of e-mail. By using Active Mail to download e-mail in this way you take advantage of the retrieval rules defined within Active Mail.
