DotMobi Email Guide published

We've just published the 1.0 Final version of the dotMobi Email Guide. This is a set of guidelines for service providers that wish to run email services suitable for use on mobile devices. More specifically, this guide lists one mandatory rule and a number of optional best practices for publicly available email services running on a .mobi domain. This guide was produced by us, working closely with our investor companies, who know a thing or two about email on mobile.

There is a lot of good mobile email advice in this guide, much of which will be new to people who are not close to the mobile industry. The advice in the guide is based on open standards such as IMAP4 and the IETF LEMONADE work (though this is not mandated), meaning that you can launch services based on this style guide using a variety of software solutions, either open source or proprietary.

You can find this style guide along with the the others at /styleguides.
