How to read mail

[minimouse]

Hi there,

I'm new to iPhone development.
I want to pass from documents to app outside iPhone.
It seems that using Web server is easy method for developer
Of course it's not so easy.
But for most users, it's the simplest way to send document by
email.
So I want to know if threre is a method that app can read document of mail.

Thanks in advance,

You can write to the Mail app, but you cannot read emails from within your application.

Thankx,
If anybody knows the better way to transfer text data to iPhone other than mail or downloading from web or ftp site, please advice me.

Thank you,

This a tough one - one thing you may consider is using the Bonjour services along with a simple desktop application to transfer data using your user's wireless network. Of course, this probably means that you will need to create two desktop programs: one for the Mac and one for the PC.

I agree that it's tough and it's too hard to write PC app. for me.

Thank you,

Read "Introduction to the URL Loading System" (search for it in Xcode|Help|Documentation).

Using the web really isn't as difficult as you'd think, and the doc provides a complete example that (with very minor tweaks) can be cut and pasted.
