You may want to add the following tip to the mini-tutorial:

If you go in to your control panel (support.mail2web.com, log in with your user name), then go to manage your account, there will be a "SMTP Proxy address" choice. In here, you can specify what you want your reply to address to be. Type it in and click add and it will send a confirmation email to the address you specified (so it knows you own it) and from then on people will see whatever address you typed in as opposed to the @mail2web.com address which is very handy when you answer emails from your phone.

This way, you will get the message back at your actual "real" inbox and a copy forwarded to your phone.

Problem...I set it up verbatim to these instructions, but when I send a email from mail2web to my work email it says account not found (or something like that) I should be able to get it since our email is on our business cards and we do use it for business communication

Yea but you can't do this is you don't pay for the personal exchange account right?

I think you are correct. I just signed up for the free service, and I don't have SMTP Proxy address as a choice.
I use IMAP for my email, so I figure I'll keep doing that, and then use the push for my calendar, notes, and tasks. That way, I'll never have to sync with my desktop.

Not working so well, at least not the way I wanted it to. It looks as if I can't sync my desktop outlook with mail2web. The exchange only works through activesync. So I'm syncing my PPC with both my desktop outlook, and mail2 web, to basically have an online backup for restoring at all times as Wideawake was mentioning.

oh man. push email = heaven. to have my gmail pushed to my device + able to appear as though i'm replying from my gmail box is SO worth the two dollars per month.

this is absolutely incredible. straight up. i'm about to choke up, here...

Anybody notice that emoze is not really push mail ?

The phone communicates with the server almost constantly. Pretty useless on x1.
