Motorola Announces New Solutions to Provide Consumers With Wireless Access to Personal and Enterprise E-mail Accounts

Consumers Can Now Remotely Manage E-Mail Accounts on Motorola Handheld Devices With Motorola MyMail(TM)

Motorola (NYSE:MOT) today announced the development of Motorola MyMail(TM), a suite of mobile e-mail solutions that offer remote, synchronized access and customizable management of personal or corporate e-mail accounts via its 2-way messaging products.

The three versions of Motorola MyMail are MyMail Desktop, for individual consumers and SOHO users; MyMail Desktop Plus, developed for business users in need of PDA/PIM support; and MyMail Enterprise, formally known as emailVClient(TM), an in-house server solution with superior security.

MyMail Enterprise is currently available and MyMail Desktop and Desktop Plus are expected to be available in Q2 2001. Motorola MyMail solutions provide users a rapid and transparent connection to their e-mail on-the-go, via the Talkabout(R) model T900 or Timeport(TM) model P935 2-way text messaging products.

"With the introduction of Motorola MyMail, Motorola is fulfilling a strong consumer demand by offering low-cost, customized wireless e-mail solutions for all users in need of direct wireless access to their e-mails," said Miguel Pellon, vice president and general manager, Wireless Messaging, Personal Communications Sector, Motorola.

"These solutions allow users to stay connected, and eliminate the need to sort through e-mails on their computers after they were already managed wirelessly, increasing productivity and improving time management."

Each version of the Motorola MyMail solution solves the needs of a specific target market. MyMail Desktop is ideal for users who are looking for a 24x7 connection to friends, family, colleagues and business associates. Desktop Plus is the choice for businesspeople who require PIM/PDA functionality, security for sending confidential messages and the ability to synchronize their wireless devices with desktop services to stay up-to-date with appointments.

Finally, the Enterprise server-based solution, formally known as emailVClient, is the perfect solution for large businesses requiring internal control, a higher level of security and encryption of messages, PIM/PDA synchronization capabilities and enterprise-specific wireless applications.

The Motorola MyMail suite of solutions provides users with the following benefits:

-- Remote e-mail actions are automatically reflected on the

user's desktop PC.

-- E-mails originated from the wireless device will insert the

personal or enterprise address into the "from" field.

-- Users of Motorola MyMail Desktop and MyMail Desktop Plus can

customize remote management of personal and enterprise e-mail
accounts, whenever the desktop computer is connected to the
Internet.

-- Motorola MyMail Enterprise will automatically forward
messages, whether or not the PC is turned on. Users can set
filters so that they receive only those messages that they
want.

-- With Motorola MyMail Desktop and Desktop Plus, e-mail can be
queried by issuing a "catch-up" command when Internet service
has been turned off.

-- Users of MyMail Desktop Plus can configure desktop options to
store, find and send contact information, tasks and schedules.

-- E-mail commands allow users to view as little or as much of a
message as they wish, as well as block messages and view where
e-mails originate.

-- Real-time transmission to the wireless device.
