Mail2Web Personal on 6700...

[mobilejray]

I was looking to set-up an Exchange server for my Sprint 6700 WM6, tried the mail2web personal account for $4.95/mo - VERY HAPPY!

Having my phone in constant sync with a server reminds me of the days when I had a Sidekick - I had a web interface to enter data, and it instantly was on my device. If I decide to install a new ROM, my PIM data automatically restores itself.

No ActiveSync duplicates, having to dock, or partnership issues - it's a great solution and I just wanted to share my good experience with everyone else.

No, I don't work for Mail2Web - in fact, they offer a FREE version (mail2web live) that works just great, but I wanted to be able to back up my online data (pst), and that's only included with the pay version.

A .cab file is included with your free account for quick/easy setup of the exchange settings on your Windows Mobile 5/6 device. Blackberry support too (additioanl cost for bb though)


My only complaint: their website needs someone to make it easier to follow.


Standard Site:
http://www.mail2web.com
Mobile Web Browser Access:
http://mail2web.com/pda
Additional Downloads/Widgets:
http://services.mail2web.com/FreeServices/Downloads/
Exchange on your Windows Mobile Details:
http://services.mail2web.com/Busines...ActiveSync.asp


Anyone else currently using this...?

I use mail2web live for free. does the upper offer allow for HTML exchange servers? the free version doesnt allow me to get HTML on my WM6 phone, quite sad.

lazyboy0172 - Yes, the Personal and Business account DOES support HTML Exchange Server. However, my email looks much better using FlexMail rather than the built-in email reader (FlexMail integrates very nicely with the PPC and Exchange).

There's a tutorial on how to set up the free service here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=2

This surprises me; M2W continues to stonewall any date for transition to Exchange 2007 servers - still running Exchange 2003 SP2. What is "HTML Exchange Server" if not 2007?

dude i dont think you want to have exchangeactivesync.cab attached here because it contains your personal account info.

Boy am I PO'd - mail2web is indeed offering Exchange 2007 for new business users, while us old business users (who accepted a 25% rate increase last month hoping we'd be first in line for upgrade) have no upgrade path even available to us.....

Well - exchange 2007 is not available to personal exchange, only business. And that's $14.95/mo. TMB - look around, there are plenty of places that charge about 10/mo for exchange 2007 and are just as good if not better.

1and1 is the cheapest at 6.99/mo but they aren't at 2007 yet. Soon... There are a bunch of others at 10-11/mo, so just shop around...
