since v. 0.5 emil email client supports to access emails via mobile phones. This is a short explanation how to enable this.

Emil and WAP

To enable wap access, make sure the permission "Emil_WAP_access" is set correctly. Connect your mobile phone to http://path_to_emil/main_wml After typing in the zope username and password it is possible to :

view folders and emails
check emails

(you should configure your pop connection correctly in the Client_Properties in the main emil Folder)

Emil and SMS

sending of SMS

Emil provides a SMS_Gateway class which supports sending of SMS to mobile phones via a email gateway. These objects should be added under the "SMS" folder.

SMS forward of new mails

To enable SMS notification of arrival of new mesages do the following:

First it is necessary to add an Email Filter. This can be done in the main Emil folder under "Client_Properties".
As soon as an email is arriving that matches to the filter, it will be moved to the corresponding folder.
In the Email_Folder set up the SMS connection correctly under "Folder_Properties". It is assumed that some external providers allows to write emails to an address, which is then transmitted to the mobile phone as an SMS. ( That's how it works for my mobile phone provider )

this functionality is only useful, if emails are automatically and periodically checked. You can either write a cron job, or install xron. Add a xron object into the emil main folder and add the following line to the xron object:

<dtml-var "check_EmailAction(_.None,_)">

I could successfully trigger the xron job, but it did not reload automatically, so I suppose something is still wrong with my setup. So tell me if it works for you, or if you have problems, too.
