M-Logger

The goal of this paper is to propose and describe the development of an actual unified messaging and mailing solution, which is a mobile-based universal inbox application for Symbian Sixty Series phones, integrating access to all previous and new Short Message Service, Multimedia Message Service, and email messages. The general aim of the application is to intensify the message access capabilities of Series sixty phones by maximizing convenience and flexibility for its users. This is achieved by maintaining a back up database of all the sent and received messages on a remote server and accessing it when needed. The M-Logger inbox was primarily developed on the Java Two Micro Edition platforms. However, it also employs Symbian application program interfaces by communicating with a peer Symbian C++ application for crucial operations such as monitoring a mobile phone´s normal inbox. The main features of the application include accessing, replying to and sending messages, keeping a back up of all messages, as well as configuring settings for email retrieval using Post Office Protocol and Internet Message Access Protocol.
