The Answers:
1 Is it really free?
A. Yes! Tapgad does not charge anything for this service. You may incur per-text charges from your cell service provider, just as you would with any normal text message.
2 How do I use it?
A. By texting simple keywords to mail@tapgad.com. There are really only 3 keywords you need to remember: check, peek and read. Learn all about them here on the keywords page.
3 Can I reply to my emails directly from my phone?
A. Yes, and its super easy too. All you need to do is reply to the message as you normally would and send it. Tapgad will forward the message to the recipient. It will show up in their inbox as if it was sent from your email address you registered with the email service.
4 What is POP3?
A. POP3 or "Post Office Protocol 3" is the term used to describe an email system that allows you to check your email from more than one place. For example, you can check your email from work or home if you have the POP3 settings configured on both mail applications.

Now you can also check your POP3 via text messaging with Tapgad much in the same manner.
5 How do I set up my POP3?
There's a few pieces to POP3 that you need to now. You obviously need to know your email account and password. The other thing is the POP3 server, which usually follows a format such as pop.myemailsystem.com (i.e. pop.gmail.com).

Here are 3 examples:

A. jdoe+maildomain.com | password | mail.yourdomain.com
B. jsmith | password2 | pop.gmail.com
C. eyeager | password3 | mail-new.yourdomain.edu
