I also found my lycos.co.uk mobile access at http://secure.mobile.lycos.co.uk

Nice and fast. But, on Opera Mini3, once I logged in, Mini showed me a white, blank page. Nothing.

I finally tried mobile.msn.com and was pretty satisfied with the service. Hotmail works wonderfully (my main and only concern) but once I had read my mail, I couldn’t find an ‘Inbox’ button. Then I figured I had to click on ‘Back To Folder’ to go back to my Inbox. Funny. But fast and clean.

Getting Started with IMAP for Gmail
What is IMAP?IMAP, or Internet Message Access Protocol, lets you download messages from Gmail’s servers onto your computer so you can access your mail with a program like Microsoft Outlook Express or Apple Mail, even when you aren’t connected to the Internet.
IMAP creates a constant connection between mail clients (desktop and/or mobile) and Gmail.
What’s the difference between IMAP and POP?
Unlike POP, IMAP offers two-way communication between your web Gmail and your email client(s). This means when you log in to Gmail using a web browser, actions you perform on email clients and mobile devices (ex: putting mail in a ‘work’ folder) will instantly and automatically appear in Gmail (ex: it will already have a ‘work’ label on that email).
In addition, IMAP provides a better method to access your mail from multiple devices. If you check your email at work, on your mobile phone, and again at home, IMAP ensures that new mail is accessible from any device at any given time.
Finally, IMAP offers a more stable experience overall. Whereas POP is prone to losing messages or downloading the same messages multiple times, IMAP avoids this through its two-way syncing capabilities between your mail clients and your web Gmail.
If you’re trying to decide between using POP and using IMAP with your Gmail account, we recommend IMAP.
How much does IMAP cost?
IMAP for Gmail is free.
