Juergen, Maybe I mixed up the abbreviations, it seems that iMS is for i-Mode Mail Service, however the main point of what I said is still valid: i-mode phones have two kinds of mail services, the ordinary imode mail service and short mails. You'll find details about iMS on DoCoMo's websites for example here (Question/Answer No. 9): http://www.docomo-tohoku.co.jp/text/imode/imd_qa2.html of for Japanese-challenged readers you can find iMS explained here: http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/english/p_s/i/qa.html#mail7 Gerhard --------------------------------------------------------------------- Gerhard Fasol, PhD Eurotechnology Japan K.
