Having marvelled at Jeremy Carroll’s method of getting emails on his cell phone, today I came across Mail2Cell, an app that will forward unread emails from Apple Mail to your cell (or “mobile phone” as some say). It is shareware (USD 10) and is available from the developer’s website. You can test the unregistered version for periods of an hour, after which it will quit.

The documentation describes how it works:

Mail2Cell will open Apple?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s Mail program if it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s not already open. At the set frequency, it will check for new email, and any messages in your Inbox that are marked as unread and unflagged will be emailed to the address specified. The forwarded messages will then be marked as Flagged (so they don?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t get forwarded again), but will remain unread.

Messages marked as Junk by Mail will not be forwarded.

Due to the SMS standard, forwarded emails will only contain the first 160 characters of the message.
