Digital Ink Messaging Options

Two ways of sending riteMail messages

riteMail software can send messages directly or through the riteMail service. When messages are sent directly, they arrive into recipient's mailbox as text messages; in order to view ane respond to such messages in handwriting, the recipient needs to download and install riteMail client software.

In case messages are sent through the riteMail service, they arrive to the target mailbox as regular HTML email, where ink content is represented as an image, so no special software is required to view such messages. Moreover, recipients can reply in their own handwriting without installing any additional software. When a recipient clicks on such message, the default Web browser will pop up, displaying the reply form with a Java applet served by riteMail service, ready to accept a handwritten response.

Communication protocols

riteMail software can send messages from a Pocket PC Phone or PDA using one of three means:

through the default mail client - Pocket Outlook
via direct SMTP connection to riteMail's mail server or any other SMTP server, specified by the user; or
via HTTP link with riteMail service.

The last method, sending digital ink messages over the HTTP connection to the service, provides the fastest way of sending messages. It does not require user configuration, eliminates the overhead of standard mail protocols and is your best bet in traversing firewalls.
User-defined SMTP server works well in case you do not want to rely on the riteMail service. To use this method, you have to be aware about the configuration of SMTP server of your ISP or mail service provider.
In case you have Pocket Outlook already configured to handle email exchange on your device, this option is also a good way to send riteMail messages.

riteMail application can receive messages using the following methods:

by peeking the incoming mail from the Pocket Outlook inbox folders
by receiving digital ink messages directly via POP3 or IMAP4 protocols.

Pocket Outlook folders are immediately visible in the riteMail folder tree and require no configuration. Configuring direct mail is similar to standard mailbox configuration in, say, Outlook Express and is facilitated by an easy to follow wizard.
