Oh'aye', I get the catch-all thing.
What language you writting in? I've never used PHP to grab POP3/IMAP. Did you write a class/series-of-functions to do that, and then CRON it every now and then? I wanna work with text messages, I think there is potential to offer something to my clients there which has a bit of 'wow' factor, only I want to do it without killing my funds, short-codes are (quite rightly) well expensive.

I'm INSPIRED to do some coding today, might make an iPhone app over the next couple of days, I got 3 days to 'wow' a client even more than what I've currently done; I won't make any cash on this one, but the resell value on my current project is huge. Basiclly, I'm gonna make a web-app that'll let you order a cab in north london, I fucking love the HTML5 spec about Geocoding.

Cron
And adapted this lot:

If I take it further I'll use simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/ If you ever have the need to parse html then use that baby. It's a bit tricky to get your head around but once you know it you can do all sorts of sweet things with it. I've written a few screen-scraping apps with it. Including one to search b3ta that tells you whether you're a twat or not - haven't published that one yet...

Cheers
