SODA3 - Spam filtering for your iPhone
We are pleased to announce that SODA3 is now compatible with Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch, and works right out of the box with any POP3 mail account - without the need for any unsupported "jailbreaking" or software installation.
What it does
SODA3 is a POP3 mail filter. When used with your iPhone, it lets you see only those mails that are important to you while you are out and about.
Is your frequent flyer newsletter really an urgent read while you're walking back to your car? Or would your time have been better spent reading that urgent email from your sales manager?
With SODA3 you can set up a VIP list of contacts whose mail you want to see while you're mobile; the rest (including spam) can wait until later.
How it works
SODA3 sits "inbetween" your iPhone and your mail server. When you check your mail, your iPhone talks to SODA3, and SODA3 talks to your mail server, finds what mail you have that is relevant to be shown on your iPhone, and shows you only those emails. SODA3 doesn't delete mail from your server, so everything will still be there when you get home, or back to the office.
Setting up SODA3 on your iPhone
- Register for a SODA3 account online and enter your VIP contacts
- On your iPhone, touch Settings, Mail
- Add an account and choose "Other"
- Select POP3
- Enter Your name, Address and a Description
- Set Incoming Mail Server Hostname to mail.soda3.com
- Enter your SODA3 username and password below
- Use your normal Outgoing mail server settings.
- Click SAVE to create your account
- Select "YES" to use non-SSL when asked
Tip: If you're unsure what to use for outgoing mail server, you should use the server you normally use to send mail. If you are using your account mobile, and are an AT&T customer, you can use server CWMX.COM with no username and password.
