WAP tutorial
WAP based Email WAP Phone E-mail Retrieval

## Preliminaries

Thought the only way to check your email on a wireless phone was via Yahoo.com? This demo will illustrate how a few VSP scripts on a Virtuoso server can provide a fully-functional wireless E-mail solution. Read messages from your POP-based email account from any WAP-enabled wireless device, or from the wireless phone emulators.

## Running the Demo on a WAP device

To access this application via WAP/WML, enter the following URL into a WAP-enabled wireless device:

    http://<hostname>/tutorial/apps/wa_b_3/index.vsp

## Email WAP Application files

- index.vap - Main page that calls the other files.
- signup.vsp - Code to register details about a new user.
- login.vsp - Code to sign-in a registered user.
- checkmail.vsp - Code to communicate with the POP3 account.
- logout.vsp - Code to sign-out.

## Running the Demo on a WAP emulator

To simulate viewing the output on a wireless device. Run the RunWapEmail.html file. Then choose a web-based emulator from one below:

- Wap.com - This is the most accurate Java and web based emulator, almost to the point of the definitive WAP SDK emulators from Openwave. However, its performance is not always optimal.
- Wapsilon.com - This is a reasonably accurate emulator, but the user interface handling is not quite the same as a real WAP phone.
- Wapmore.com - This is a PDA style emulator. Although its interface is a bit quirky, the performance is reasonable.
- Gelon.net - This is probably the fastest web-based WAP emulator; however, it sometimes exhibits problems displaying WML forms.
- Download WAP SDK - Our recommended option, this standard WAP SDK for emulators from Openwave.com (formerly Phone.com).
