Smartner Duality Always-on Mail for Microsoft Smartphone released
May 25, 2004 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R.

The built-in e-mail push technology in Windows Mobile 2003 is totally unsatisfactory (based on SMS, rather than on pure IP traffic like in RIM Blackberry) so no wonder other companies offer better alternatives:

Duality Always-on Mail keeps your Pocket Inbox and yourself always up-to-date automatically

This program can be purchased in basic version here and in professional version here. More information about it follows below.

Duality Always-On Mail enables you to manage your email via your PDA or Smartphone, in real-time, wherever you may be.

  • View messages in real-time, receive data on PDA or Smartphone and desktop simultaneously
  • Display read/unread status, sender, subject and received date
  • Sort mail list by sender, subject or received date
  • Delete, reply to sender, reply to all, or forward a message
  • Open and respond to meeting request emails
  • All actions mirrored to desktop view in real-time, over the air
  • Display and edit original message on replying or forwarding
  • Apply basic text edit clipboard operations (cut, copy and paste)
  • Receive attachments in native format, e.g. Pocket Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF.
  • View, save, edit and send attachments as if at a desktop
  • Configurable message truncation download size from 0kb (subject line only) upwards
  • Truncated text and attachments rapidly downloaded, when requested, in the background
  • Identify and add addressees from contacts list
  • Resolve incomplete email addresses using Outlook Contacts
  • File messages from Inbox into desktop folders; File & Forget
  • Save messages to drafts folder
Communications

Duality Always-On Mail is as simple as switching the devices on. The software handles all communication issues automatically.

  • Alerts as new mail is received; no need to poll for new messages
  • Work on or offline; no need to remain in constant mobile coverage
  • Network connections established and maintained automatically
  • Operate via GPRS or GSM; with option to switch in seconds
  • Full real-time, bi-directional synchronisation over the air
  • Option to remotely suspend the service temporarily
  • Data compression, typically 2:1 size reduction, reducing the cost of GPRS traffic
  • Smart message handling; no repeat transfer of data whilst undocked
Security

Duality Always-on Mail keeps your emails fully secure.

  • 128 bit, end-to-end, AES encryption
  • New encryption keys generated and exchanged each time the PDA is docked - no "over the air" key exchange
  • Entire message, not just body text, is encrypted
  • Duality can only be installed by the relevant authorised email account user
  • Corporate security not compromised by additional open firewall ports
Easy Installation and Support

Duality is simple to install, involving minimal disruption to the network, security and email infrastructure to be deployed.

  • No requirement for information security team or IT manager involvement
  • Installation on standard Windows 2000 or XP workstation
  • Install in 15 minutes
  • High user familiarity with applications and hardware
  • Minimal support and training overheads
