18.1 Mobile PIM and eMail Overview

Oracle9i Application Server Personal Information Management (PIM) Service enables customers to integrate corporate email, directory, address book, calendaring and instant messaging applications into their mobile enterprise portals.

Each of these applications is built as a module that can be called either directly by mobile users from their devices, or by other applications. These mobile PIM and email applications are fully integrated within one another, enabling a user to access such features as an address book-based recipient selection or a directory when composing email messages.

Oracle9i Application Server customers can leverage the Personal Information Management Service modules into their own or third-party applications to add communication features to these services, to retrieve corporate directory information, or to add and manage appointments for users such as travel or dining reservations.

18.1.1 Mobile Email

The email module enables users to access their email messages from any mobile device. Mobile Email integrates with any IMAP or POP3 server (including Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino servers).

18.1.1.1 Configuring an Email Service
