A WAP site for reading email quickly - any advice?

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can advise me of a good WAP site to use to read my
email.  So far I've been using TagTag.com, which allows me to store my
pop3 info on the site and then I simply log in with my username and
password and I can read my mail.

The thing is, the login is quite a slow process and I use a
pay-by-the-minute mobile phone.  I suppose this is really more to do
with my phone than the WAP site itself, but I wish there was a way I
could store my login details to speed things up, or at least store the
username so I would only have to enter the password.

Basically, with TagTag I connect to http://tagtag.com/mail , then I
choose & connect to the 'TagTag login' screen, then I connect to the
'username' screen and enter my details, then to the password screen,
enter my details and finally I can connect to my inbox.  The login alone
takes about a minute (if I'm speedy) and if I want to check my mail
headers a few times a day the cost soon adds up.

Can someone give me any pointers on a WAP site that would allow me to
connect directly to my username and thus only have to enter the
password?  I'm after something like this:
Connect to: http://tagtag.com/<MyPersonalWapsite>, where a 'enter
password' field is waiting for me, enter password> inbox appears!

Does such a site exist or would that just be wishful thinking?

I use www.orange.net  which lets me read and send my orange.net mail
by pop3, or Webmail, or Wapmail with free subject line SMS alerts,
and Orange.net gives me 30 free WebSMS a month.

I can't speak highly enough of wapmx - wapmx.com is their WAP address and
you can also bookmark the login page.

http://web.archive.org/web/20011031063455/wapmx.com/sign_up.htm is their web
signup and set-up page. The advantage I find over yourwap.com is that
reading mails over WAP doesn't affect the "read/unread" status on the POP3
server, you can have unlimited accounts, and it can also be set-up nicely to
send and reply to mails, with a customisable signature.

All in, an excellent site.
