Mobile Web Client

Overview

Stanford's Mobile Web Client at mobilemail.stanford.edu is designed to let you view your Stanford Email & Calendar using a web browser on a mobile device. You can access your mail, contacts, calendar, and tasks using this interface. Mobilemail is also a good choice if you are in an area with weak wireless signal strength.
