mobile me Alternatives

[sfarris]

Quick update- I installed Interways and ran it head to head with MobileMe. Both worked well, after I forwarded my office email account to them. They pushed as well as Blackberry ever did. I am now trying the same thing- forward to other service- to my Yahoo! (Sbcglobal.net) account. Could be hopful!

I did notice two things: one, i did a restore on my phone per an Apple tech support rep. I noticed that it restored differently- screens looked different. And now it works. He suggested it may be a new build of 2.1.

Also, i changed my office mail retrieve from POP to IMAP. Huge improvement, and the delete at work clears the handheld as well.

I posted this as a new post elsewhere, sorry for the clutter.

Why doesn't the delete from the phone clear your e-mail at work?

It does, on the IMAP account. It doesn't clear when it is forwarded to get Push. Kind of a belt and suspenders approach. They come to the PUsh Yahoo account immediately, but if i wait, they will get to the IMAP folder on the phone, where they can be deleted from the server.

i am very disappointed that mobile me does not support entourage 2004. Does anyone know what the status of 2008..will it work if i upgrade? I have sent my details to interway and awaiting my account to be approved. I would prefer mobile me though. The reason I bought my iphone was because i was tired of using 3rd party programs to to the same things that everyone with windows does seamlessly. I hope that apple rectify the problem asap or maybe I am missing something?
