Mail2web works really well for me on my 8125.
It uses outlook.

Is it a pull or push system?

And from reading their site it's free. Unless I missed something.

As you can see I'm very new to this and need lots of help.

It uses micro$ofts direct push

It is a free service for basic functionality.
-mail2web email
-contacts
-calander
-Outlook Web Access

I am pretty sure if you wanted you can pay a premium and also your desktop outlook.

I am about to sign up, do you think it is worth the $1.99 a month for the Personal account over the free one?

Posted by: cjmedina

the free one works highly doubt your getting more of value for 1.99

cjmedina,

I followed your instructions and it is working very well. I sent a test email and it got to my mobile almost instantly.

Now I have a few more questions:

1. How does it know when to sync? Is mail2web sending sms msgs. Just not sure and don't want a big bill.

2. I'm only doing email, but would like to know how you can sync contacts and calendar items. Not sure how mail2web gets that info.

Thanks for your help.

it syncs via a http stream and checks every so often, so in short if you have unlimted data dont work about it, all sent an recived messages thru outlook are counted as data not text, as for the contacts and calendars items they get it from the last option you choose what you want synced, if you want to take it off just follow the steps and uncheck what you dont want synced, when i got my vario after selling my 8125 i just synced it and all my contacts and emails addys where there, no hassle

cjmedina,

I tried syncing my contacts and it worked just fine. It looks like it just takes them off your mobile. So I guess if you add a new contact on your desk top and then sync to mobile it will add it to mail2web. At least that is what is seems to be doing.

Anyway it seems to be working just fine.

Thanks for all your help.
