Email check with a twist
 

Greetings! I'm a new (this week) TP2 user trying to absorb way too much info. :D

One program I haven't been able to find that I use on my PC is an email check/delete program for eliminating junk at the POP server.

On XP I use PopPeeper ( http://www.poppeeper.com/ ). If anything close exists for WinMo I would really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks!

I'm not familiar of any junk email programs for WM, but that's probably because they're likely cost prohibitive in terms of the hit on battery life from constantly polling the POP3 server and processing junk mail. Have you considered running it through a Gmail account? The Gmail spam filter is pretty damn good..

As for checking email, a battery-effective fake push email setup involves having your POP3 server forward mail to your phone (SMS via email), and then having a lightweight client on your phone react to text messages containing a specific string and immediately launching a shortcut that runs a send/receive on a specific email account. For example, I use Magicall to launch "sendreceiveall.exe" when it sees a text with "subject: " in the message.

Thanks for the info.

I'm not necessarily looking for an "always polling" option, just something that I could run periodically to clean out the junk while on the road.

I need it to support multiple accounts (about six) so running them all through Gmail would get complicated.

just get a gmail account. i never get junk mail.

It's hard for me to understand why one would use their wireless device to remotely purge their email accounts of junk mail. With battery technology where it is right now, it seems a far better choice to configure the email host to handle spam messages. Maybe this would be possible with the advent of battery-sized nuclear reactors (in lieu of the revent EVO battery problems)?

gmail ftw

not sure why the gmail tangent, except that gmail has working imap, but regardless the opp was looking for an app to check all his different mail accounts, reasons vary as to why different accounts, but this is by no means uncommon..

the answer; windows mobile pocket outlook, the built in mail client does everything that pop peeper does
