NowSMS can accept e-mail messages via SMTP, and deliver them as SMS (truncated) or MMS.

NowSMS does not poll external mailboxes, so you would need to configure rules or forwarding on the other e-mail system, or with some other external piece of software.

Sorry, I don't know of any. Usually people use auto-forwarding or filtering/rules built into their e-mail clients.

I've never investigated independent "polling" applications that would do this independent of the mail client or mail server. (Technically it is very possible as long as you can connect remotely using POP3 or IMAP4, I just have never investigated actual products.)

Thread closed by admin ... the subject of this thread seems to be attracting confused individuals who think they can post a reply here and have it magically appear on their phone.
