Seriously... the one feature I would care about isn't even mentioned. What is it? IMAP IDLE support.
<rant>
Every legitimate mailserver has supported IMAP IDLE for a couple of years now. You want true "push" email, plus an improvement in battery life? WM5 and WM6 Messaging are so woefully inefficient... it's silly to go through the whole send/receive process every time you want to check for new mail when all you have to do is send the mailserver a NOOP command every 10 minutes or so. One command vs. a 15-20 second process of checking all the folders etc. Then, the mailserver knows where you are and just pushes the mail to you. Let the mailserver do the work... not your phone!
FlexMail is the only WM mail client that supports IDLE, and it's buggy to say the least. Every single desktop client supports IDLE... I use Thunderbird on my laptop, with IMAP IDLE support enabled, and I get mail as soon as it's received by my mailserver.
And no, I don't want to forward my mail through some free service like Mail2Web... I shouldn't have to. I own a perfectly good mailserver and there is no reason I should have to forward my mail.
Microsoft has to understand that not everyone uses Exchange someday...
