This sounds really exciting as I've been looking for something like this! However I have a question with regards to the archived mail. All my mail on my mac have been POP3 accounts, and thus that's where all my mail resides. If I were to get a 4smartphone exchange account, the only synced mail would be the new mail starting from when you set up the exchange account right? And with regards to setting up the Apple Mail for exchange... How does that affect your accounts and old mail? To my understanding you are basically creating a new IMAP account on your mac. How would you get your mail before the exchange account into your inbox together? I guess i'm just worred about the transition and would like to explore all aspects before i jump ship. Thanks! Hi,

The way I got on top of my personal email/digital files problem is bought my own SBS 2003 server. Basically I run my own server with backup to tape etc (about to install a 1TB disk NAS to replace this). This means I can store (and remotely access via the web) any document I have ever written, for any of my employers at any time. And also be able to real time sync to my windows mobile smartphone (just about to upgrade to a HTC hermes) to any of my emails, both active and stored. I know it may seem overkill for a lot of people to have running their own server but with bandwidth being so cheap you can host this on the end of a cable modem and use a iplookup to connect via randomly allocated ip addresses. There is no reason why you cant consider your own requirements leser than a corporate email solution when you are so reliant on this form of communication.

While the exchange hosting is an option for syncing, I'd rather not add to my monthly expenses. Checking pop email every once and a while is fine for my purposes. I run Mac's as well, so I've been hunting for some way to sync if I were to get it. (yes I know pocketmac & the missing sync have yet to release updates that will work) I've discovered finchsync. http://www.finchsync.com/index.html The site claims to have mac OS X support for syncing with Mozilla clients, like Thunderbird and Sunbird...as well as the Mozilla Calendar extension for the Mozilla Suite, Firefox and Netscape or the standalone Sunbird (Version 0.2). I'd really be curious if you can get it to work with OS X. One of the main things keeping me from getting a PPC-6700 for myself. Also, you should play around with Scheduleworld.com. They use sync4j syncml, and you may be able to sync using the open source syn4j client for Windows Mobile...don't know if it works with windows Mobile Version 5 though. They also have a Java client that is completely cross platformable which is pretty hip. I'm also very curious if the sync4j windows mobile client is compatible with the ppc-6700.

It's pretty neat how the read-state of all your email is sync'd on your mobile device. Unfortunately the smartphone route wasn't for me, so I've got a PDA on the way. Great read Ethan.
