Openwave Systems has announced the launch of Openwave Email Mx 8.0, which supports mobile email using the IMAP IDLE standard, and high capacity mailboxes.
The IMAP IDLE feature has been designed to allow users to receive mobile email directly using any compatible handset. The mailboxes supplied with this solution are of high enough capacity to offer nearly limitless storage.
Dan Nguyen, director of product management and messaging at Openwave commented: "Service providers are evolving their email systems to enable limitless storage of messaging and content.
"Openwave Email Mx 8.0 addresses the service provider's requirement to offer high capacity mailboxes as well as network-based mobile email that eliminates the requirement for users to download a handset client."
Email Mx 8.0 also offers improved IMAP performance allowing users to manipulate mailboxes with much less processing effort. Other features include hardened messaging storage eliminating overload scenarios and enhanced message delivery options (header summaries) allowing message metadata to be retrieved without retrieving/loading the full message.
Openwave's product range includes mobile internet service management, messaging, and location based solutions.
