    Was with vodafone and used their email, which was great as, they sent you a txt when you had a new message. I moved over to 3 and took my 087 number with me. I am now blocked from accessing vodafone email. (fair enough). 3 dont offer a txt email service. Anyone know a service that will alert me to new emails ? It is important because I am looking for a new place to live, and daft.ie send me emails when a place that fits my criteria comes up. Anyone know where I could get a new email add that txts me when a new mail arrives ? Thanks..Mark

    Three provide you with a 3mail account. Set up your email to forward to your 3mail account. That's what I do with my gmail account. It works great.

    But can I get sms notification on new emails via the 3mail address? How do I go about doing that?

    No but the emails are sent to your phone.

    If your phone has push email the 3mail works if you pop forward something like gmail to your 3mail account. But.............. be aware that they charge for emails. I found out when my balance started dropping on the phone. Never checked the site before hand. Pricing in the link below.
