Development of an electronic mail environment with NFC technology extension

E-mail is one of today?s widely used communication tools. Mobility, which is defined as being free from any geographical restrictions to make use of any service, is a very important requirement for the users to access e-mail data. The aim of this study is to develop a web based mail server application, and a mobile mail client application to provide an e-mail service for the users which gives the opportunity to reach their e-mails from anywhere they want. MailMoby webmail application enables users to reach their mailboxes from their browsers while they are on the Internet. On the other hand, MobileMoby, the mobile client application, enables access to mailbox using their Java-enabled smart phones.Mobile technologies are growing fast to satisfy mobility requirements; one of these rapidly growing mobile technologies is NFC (Near Field Communication). In addition to the e-mail applications development, NFC is studied, and usability of an NFC application is tested through MobileMoby.
