How MailTones Work

When you run MailTones, we’ll give you a special email address @mailtones.net – forward A COPY of your email to that address and any mail you receive will make your iPhone beep with your chosen tone. You can choose to copy all your email to mailtones.net, or use filters to just forward some messages. When email arrives at our server, we send a Push message to your iPhone – causing it to beep, whistle, ring or buzz! Please make sure you can forward a copy of your email to a second address – GMail and MobileMe users can do this, but we understand Yahoo Mail does not provide this facility. MailTones uses the Amazon EC2 platform, to allow for extreme reliability and stability, however cannot guarantee delivery of message notifications. The price includes ongoing use of our service, with no recurring fees.
