phpWAPmail is a WAP-based e-mail client. It is intended for providing access
to e-mail servers from cellular phones using WAP browser.

phpWAPmail is written in PHP and uses standard PHP imap module to operate
with mailboxes. It is placed on a web-server and acts as a proxy between
cellular users and mail servers. This way it can provide faster access
to the mailboxes rather than built-in e-mail clients and less network traffic.

phpWAPmail is designed mostly for modern phones, but works fine
on the old ones too.

Features list:
- handle both POP3 and IMAP protocols, including SSL/TLS support
- sending e-mail
- support all known encodings/charsets
- can read e-mails in html format
- split long messages and lists by pages (with loading of the pages by demand)
- works with attachments, including read and download
- e-mail forwarding
- support optional caching (both messages and lists) for less network traffic
- bookmarkable -- any page can be bookmarked
- represents user passwords in a crypted form (in urls, bookmarks etc.). Actually just the first login (using POST data) are unencrypted.
- auto-tuning of work parameters, using accessible WAP-browser's info
- internationalization (currently English and Russian)


NOTE:

Very often mobile operators count the "WAP traffic" separately,
with a much more cost for it (up to 10 times bigger). If you use GPRS,
check whether your "WAP profile" (mostly APN entry) is different
from an "Internet profile". If so, check the correspond tariffs.

If your WAP traffic costs much more than non-WAP traffic, try to use
the same APN as for non-WAP Internet access. It is likely that you should also
use an alternate WAP proxy instead of the IP addresses reported for you
by your mobile operator. 

In a case of your own WAP proxy, you can up it on the same host
where phpWAPmail is. If you use Apache, then just use Apache's mod_proxy.
You can even use standard port 80 for such a proxying, to avoid
confusing anyone. :) Please note, that internal wap-sites and wap-services
of your operator, intended for its users, might not work with the alternate
WAP proxy.
