I was after a pushemail solution, got an e61 on flext tmobile with webnwalk.

I didnt want to use blackberry services, as i wanted to avoid their fees.
The solution i have is mailforexchange, it has been working for me reliably
since christmas.

Mailforexchange is based around Windows Server2003 and Exchange server,
using a process called Exchange Activesync.

It works well, essentially, it syncs my emails, my contacts and my calendar
on a push basis. It doesnt matter if I enter the appointment in my calendar
on my phone or on my outlook 2003 on my desktop, they are always synced. The
appointments is particularly important to me....

Of course for this to work you need to have a pc running windows server 2003
(and a few days to work out how to set it up)...

If you want to save the set up however, you can sign up for the free live
mailbox www.mail2web.com

This allows you to do the same thing for free (with small limitations).....
