Accessing Sailmail from an iPad or iPhone
General information on accessing Sailmail via internet is available by sending a blank email to: internet@saildocs.com (or via the web at http://saildocs.com/internet), and more info on POP3 email connections is available by sending a blank email to: pop3@saildocs.com (or htp://saildocs.com/pop3).
