The day I received the e-mail about the switch I researched my options as far as hotmail, other exchange services and sites that will sync your contacts, calendar, and e-mails.
I decided to go all google, and it is working just as good as mail2web did for me.
Google sync does the Calendar and Contacts using the exchange server feature on the device, then you have to use the imap feature in Gmail to sync your e-mails and set up a new mailbox in messaging on your device. (In Gmail settings when you click imap there is a nice link on how to set up your device.)
It was easy enough to set up and I did not lose anything when I deleted the exchange server from the device. Your contacts, Calendar, and e-mails remain on the device, just make sure on the device you choose to "leave items on the device if there is a change" until all is synced with the new server.
I had been using mail2web as an agreggator for my work e-mail, now I just use google as the aggregator and it works great, and best of all it is free.
Gmail will also send e-mail in html format.
Just be advised when you delete an e-mail on your device the Gmail server creates a new label called "Deleted" so that you do not see it on the device, but still have it on the server and with the label it is easy enough to either create a rule to immediately delete it or to do it manually later.
Hope this helped.
