Lime: Lightweight Mobile Email

Lime is a very simple lightweight webmail client intended for use on mobile devices such as cell phones and PDAs. It provides a compact, elegant web interface to any IMAP mail account.

While Lime uses a few features (such as CSS and very limited Javascript) that are only supported by more advanced mobile browsers such as NetFront and Opera, it degrades gracefully and remains usable in less capable browsers.

In the interests of simplicity, Lime does not provide an interface for composing new messages, and such a feature is not likely to be added in the future.
