Momail and Flickr Enhance Photo Sharing on the Go

Momail has launched Flickr integration to its mobile email service that enhances photo sharing and searching using the mobile phone. Just by simply sending an email message, the end-user now can upload photos from their camera phone, search and download public and private photos and receive information on recent updates from friends and family.

All photos sent to the mobile via the Flickr search and download functions are automatically optimized for the individual handset via Momail's patented MMOPE-technology. Thus, photos download quickly and save up to 99.9% of mobile data.

How it works – a few examples

First, simply activate Flickr on Momail under "On-demand" in your Momail account, and then it's ready to go. This activation enables single sign-on and authentication required to reach the private Flickr pages.

- Upload photos. Send 1-5 pictures attached to an email to flickr@momail.xx (where xx is your country domain) from your mobile. Words added in "Subject" will be the title of your photo. A description can be included in the message body.
- Search public photos. Send an email to flickr@momail.xx, add the search word/s in the subject field and you will get an email back with the search result and the three top matched pictures optimized for your specific mobile model.
- Search private photos. Send an email to flickr@momail.xx, write "download + keyword(s)" in the subject field and you will get an email back with the search result and the five top matched pictures.
- Help and status. Via simple keywords sent to flickr@momail.xx the user will get immediate help and status of their Flickr account.

Momail is free of charge and works on all mobiles with built-in email support. The service is available in all Nordic countries, Austria, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Montenegro, Spain, Switzerland, Poland and UK. Many more countries will be added next year.
