Sure, I have it working on the server, but the phone doesn't seem to
support it. Eventually I'll try to look up some other mail application
for the phone.

I also know that one, but being my father the owner of the phone, I want
to make it as easy as possible. Thus, I can't ask him to always manually

Thanks anyway :)
