We recently participated in a Ferris
webinar which discussed, amongst other things, the new IETF standard for mobile
email (LEMONADE).
After the webinar, which included our sending of the first LEMONADE Forward without Download message, the moderator commented that LEMONADE was now "closer to what is mainstream in proprietary standards like RIM...".
This backhanded compliment got us thinking about whether a real comparison of the BlackBerry and LEMONADE approaches to common mobile email issues would indeed indicate that LEMONADE still had some catching up to do in order to compete with proprietary protocols.
The first of the short whitepapers resulting from that thinking "BlackBerry and LEMONADE Approaches to Mail Filtering" is now available on the Isode website. Mail filtering is important for mobile email as it saves bandwidth and enables the user to concentrate on those messages that need to be (or can be) dealt with on the move.
The paper concludes that LEMONADE's approaches to email filtering can provide equivalent services to Blackberry filtering, with a number of overall benefits.
