[Quirk]

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.

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 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.

$4,000 for Exchange Server 2007 Enterprise Edition, not including the 85 CALs (for employees). Then the cost of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (another $4,000 + CALs), which is well over $9,000, just in software.

Now throw in a quad processor rackmount server from Dell with 16 GB of RAM, three hot swap, 15K RPM, SCSI hard drives in RAID for mail storage (450+ GB) and also two hot swap, 15K RPM SCSI drives in RAID just for the Windows installation (80 GB).

Add in three years of same day, 24/7, four hour response time on hardware, and I say we got a good deal. What did you pay for your Exchange 2007 server?

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.

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.

Damn, I used this a lot. Specially to keep my contacts and calendar up to date. There was no need for a laptop to sync. After every flash it was great. Agggh!!!


#^*%$!

I tried Seven Beta and actually liked it more than Mail2Web, in terms of reliability and speed.
