TELECOM TALK

Vodafone India’s 2nd largest mobile operator has been offering Mail services to their customers for sometime. Today we bring you an exclusive sneak peak to what and what not is included in the emailing service. Lets check it out.

Vodafone Mail is a convenient way to access emails instantly on your Vodafone mobile phone. Send, receive, view, edit and delete emails instantly. Be it attending to business matters, urgent personal issues or a simple ‘hello!´ to a friend, you can do it all with Vodafone Mail anytime anywhere.

Vodafone Mail works for anyone with a POP / IMAP enabled email account, whether private or business. Yahoo, Rediff, Indiatimes and Sify users can directly use Vodafone Mail to access their mailboxes – even without a POP enabled account.

Other mail services like Gmail and VSNL require a POP account to access Vodafone Mail. Vodafone Mail is also ideal for Enterprise and SOHO (Small Office / Home Office) customers who use POP accounts (Linux based servers & Hosted Email servers) to access their mails.

Features of Vodafone Mail:

•Real-time delivery: Vodafone Mail uses unique push-mail technology to deliver corporate and personal emails, contacts, and calendar data to your device.

•Real-time synchronisation: No cradle hassles to synchronise data between your phone and PC. Emails, contacts and calendar data on your phone are automatically synchronised with your mail server and vice versa.

•Multiple email account access: Add real-time access to a POP or IMAP account by enabling your personal email in addition to your corporate email and there’s no need for multiple email clients on your mobile device.

•Secure: Data transferred to and from your phone is secure with 128-bit AES encryption.

•Security Features

• With Vodafone Mail you can be rest assured that all the information that you send to, and receive on, your Vodafone mobile phone is delivered securely using 128 bit, end to end AES encryption.

• The entire message, and not just body text, is encrypted.

• Additional open ports are not needed, so corporate security is not compromised.

• You also have the option to remotely suspend the service temporarily, at any time.

Note: The features available with Vodafone Mail depend on the handset you use.
