IOS Safari will only be able to access MobileMe email if Apple 
reverses a policy. At the moment there must be special code in IOS 
Safari to make it switch over to IOS Mail on hitting the webmail 
site. When I last checked, it did the equivalent when you browse to 
Google maps - it switched to the Maps app. It looks like a deliberate 
policy thing.

It's a real problem for me when I visited a particular holiday 
complex where IMAP is filtered out. (Or it was until the WiFi died on 
my 2nd hand SIM-less iPhone :-) ).
