For awhile now I've been working on a simple free little app that would let me check my eve mails on my phone, the result is Pod Mail.
Using an api key with the following access mask https://support.eveonline.com/api/Key/CreatePredefined/2560 you are able to read your personal \ corp \ alliance eve mails without having to log into eve gate on your mobile or have a third party forward your mail.
Currently there is no support for receiving notifications, however this is something i will end up working on if there is a demand for it.

In order to make adding multiple accounts eaiser the app supports loading in api information from a properly formatted text file.
Basically you create a text file containing your information in the format keyID:vCode with one of these entries per line, you then save the text file with a .epod file extension. Now when you open this file on your device it will load the app and install the keys for you. More detailed instructions can be found at the Support Site

Now it did have the ability to go straight to the api key page and allow you to use the nice install button ccp have provided, but Apple in their moronic review process did not like this, I'm hoping to release an updated version shortly to address this and another issue (again with the ******** reviewers apple has) .
When you go to add your api details you will see that the textfields are labeled "Userid" and "Passcode" this is because apple in their infinite wisdom would not approve my app with those fields originally being 'keyid' and 'vCode'. So despite their labels you only have to enter the api details, NOT your login info (just incase anyone was confused and paranoid :) )



If you have any feedback or issues feel free to post them here or send me a message.
Last but not least I would like to thank all the people who helped to beta test during development :D I really appreciate the feedback you guys provided.
