Is there a way to access Cell phone email accounts online somehow? For instance, if my cell number was "212-123-4567", my cell phone email address would logically be 2121234567@att.mobile.net (or whatever). Considering i know the phones server (eg: At&t) would i be able to access a port for that server somehow and check an email? Is this at all possible or am i just a total moron over here?

"Cell phone" email is just like "computer" email, you can access it any number of ways. You mean voice mail, don't you?

Generally one thing is needed to access your e-mail via your phone. And that is a Gateway on the e-mail system that you are trying to contact. Most wireless devices (phones, PDA's) that will access their email accounts go through a Web Gateway for authentication and translation processes. If you are going through your Cell carrier for this feature they are who you need to contact for setting up the account. If it is through your company, like ours is, then it would be the system administrator that you would need to talk to. All wireless e-mail systems are different, right down to what type of phones, PDA's, and protocols (phones that support the WAP protocol should probably have no problems) that can be used for this purpose. That is why I can not give you a definitive answer.
