Ever more mobile Gmail, but "safe" this time

By Ryan Block

We want Gmail made mobile as much as anyone (okay,
maybe
a
little
more), but to date things have been more than a little sketch when it comes to getting it on your PPC or smartphone. So it's nice to know that if you've got a trusted network of your own, you can remotely access your Gmail account from your Pocket PC without needing to do much out of the ordinary (if you're a sysadmin, that is). The trick: just VPN to your network, use terminal services to start up a Windows session, and open Gmail up with IE. Not a great hack or anything, but it's still useful if you know how to make those things work.
