Re: mail2web live will cost atfter may 1,2009

I don't think I would call them greedy since they provided such an awesome service free. I'm glad you posted how much everything ran for you to upgrade so we have an idea on how much cost mail2web is incurring. I've gotten use to mail2web and will be paying as well.

Although I do have my hotmail on push too b/c of HTML email, but you can't beat being able to add tasks, contacts, and calendar appointments on the fly if you have a computer and don't want to put it in the touch pro directly.

I never thought mail2web was very reliable, but for free it was worth it. try 1and1 it is 6.95 a month but provides html and has a great a usuable outlook on line and great options

Re: mail2web live will cost atfter may 1,2009

This is rather upsetting to me. Mail2web was awesome and so convenient. I have been using it for almost 4 years now. If they only had a more reasonable price for the plan. Something like $50 dollars for the whole year or something like that.

I have like 5 phones with mail2web accounts and we use it for calendaring and mobile mail. And I am facing paying 50$ a month, which is kinda steep.

Are there any other providers that are this reliable/ easy to setup for free?
Is windows live mail comparable, or does it have limitations?

Wow.... Never looked at it that way. That is extremely steep for your situation. You think they would have some kind of bundle deal. Or pay 4.95 and get three accounts for that one monthly fee.

Windows live mail is push and also has HTML, but I've never tried to add task, contacts, or calendar to my live mail and see if it would sync with my phone. I believe only email and contacts sync through live mail.

This is horrible, b/c people like you are either forced to move to another service and loose your mail2web email push accounts, or pay crazy amounts each month.. I hope they restructure that pricing for multiple accounts.

I actually switched to hotmail a while ago. The reason for the switch is that I wanted HTML e-mail. Hotmail's been great.

I only used mail2web for syncing contacts and appointments. I've switched to google for syncing (as of today) and so far it's working great.

Re: mail2web live will cost atfter may 1,2009

I was actually paying for their $4.95 "personal" service for a while, but I left them because they dragged their feet badly on offering Exchange 2007 on their personal side. They don't have ANY type of option, paying or not, on the personal side for Exchange 2007. I wasn't gonna pay $15/mo for their business options, nevermind the fact I'd have to set up my own domain, just for Exchange 2007.

Seriously, if they really want to get people to actually pay, they need to be offering Exchange 2007 as part of their pay plans on the Personal side and not just their business side.

Right now, I'm using Denial's service, he offers, over at XDA-Developers. It's basically the same $5/mo, but he's running Exchange 2007.

You can try Seven Beta. It's free. Some people claim it's a little hard on the battery, but I haven't noticed any unusual drain since I started using it.

Doesn't it slap on a signature of it's own?

Re: mail2web live will cost atfter may 1,2009

Considering my mail2web hasn't synced since 6am this morning (it's 1pm now) and I've been experiencing random downtime like this for months, I think it's time to switch to hotmail.
