Not sure. I did a try for scorpius, and i think the server has to support .wml files.

Other than that, it's just a link. Just like a test link.

For the pages, just a normal page.

you will have to use WAP/WML

check out www.w3schools.com for some tutorials on them.
Also, if you wish to get some ready-made files that you can upload unto your server and access via WAP/GPRS, i believe hotscripts should have a few of them

Yes, I think you should be able to access your webmail if but through a webmail script that is created for WAP.

GPRS is the network, where WAP is the protocal.

In order to use handphone to access, you need a .wml pages, or any script like .jsp, .asp that can dynamically generate wml pages.

You can access your webmail using handphone provided the original code has been stripped down and reparse into wml

You might want to try something like IceWarp Webmail which can be access on your normal desktop PC and it supports WAP access as well.

Let us know which works for you or why do you prefer one over the other. Anyway, have you tried or in the process of testing IceWarp Webmail?
