My company blocked Internet access to any website with the word "mail" in its URL.
So I cannot use the free "mail2web" free OWA service.
I was using Yahoo Go! Mobile but it did not work in the past 2 days and still now.
Is there any other FREE OWA service which has no "mail" in the URL?
I heard about "www.4smartphone.net", is it free? Or if paid, is it worth the money?
Please help, thanks.
There is a discussion on the thread below about push mails. You probably will find an alternative there.

This may be old news to some but new news to others.
As you may know your WM5 and WM6 device can do a wireless sync with Exchange and offers blackberry style 'push' email.
To do this you need a configured Exchange server and for most this can be expensive or impossible to do yourself.
But there is hope, and its free.
www.mail2web.com offers FREE hosted exchange email. The only thing is you get a little add banner along the top but apart from that its corporate style exchange for free. Whats more it comes with OWA enabled also free of charge.
You can even set it to pull email from other POP3 email accounts.
You can access your mail via the web or POP3/IMAP4 clients.
For around 80p a month you can upgrade to their Plus service, this allows you to have the outgoing FROM: address to be your own. For me I use it to send mail from my personal domain.
So the upgrade is well worth it given the other extra features you get.
But take a look at the free service. I first switched a while ago as ntlworld.com has really crap webmail. So got a free account and just forwarded it all to mail2web.com for full outlook wonder.
I think this is a useful tip as I couldnt find anyone else offering free push enabed services.
alternative
Since this service is goint to cost next month, does anyone have a alternative?
I tried windows live, but it doesnt push emails instantly nor does ita have calender and contacts synchronisation :/
I've been trying to find a good new solution as well.
I'm currently trying out emoze, which is an app that allows you to configure push email (with certain service providers). It WORKS, but it doesn't allow full folder sync with gmail, so it's not quite as useful as true push from my IMAP gmail account would be.
seven is another.
I tried mail2web and was unimpressed though all our domains are there now. It wouldn't push html email.
I'd search out a provider that offers IMAP idle but Flexmail is the only app on the WM side to support it.
Hello all,
Recently I've acquired Exchange 2007 and have been using it for family, friends and myself. I have some CALs left over and was thinking of opening it up to members of the forum for free during this beta period (similar to DeniaL's service here). This service includes Outlook Anywhere, Outlook Web Access, push email and stringent spam filtering. The servers are hosted in a reliable datacenter with 24/7 tech support.
If interested, please PM me your:
Name
Desired username
Email alias
I can also be the MX for your personal domain if you'd like (only for advanced users )
Please note that I have started charging for this service: $5/month or $50/year if you pay upfront.

Out of curiosity, what are you using as your jabber server, and how are you handling the integration with AIM?
I'm with ajolly, I was wondering what gateway you're using for the AIm connectivity, as I'm looking into hosting a Jabber server for my high school and developing an app that would look at the contents of a message and show contextual ads beside it, sort of like gmail.
Donation
I have just sent you a small donation, for this great servce .
Thank you very much...
Just a quick bump on this one ...
kltye kindly provided me with a 'test' account yesterday, and have just gotta say that so far, so good. Set-up was easy, worked first time, sync's OTA flawlessly - and the OWA 2007 interface is great.
If the service is as stable as it appears to be, then I will be staying with kltye and sending him a donation.
Cheers
Mark
Just got myself an account as well. Looks great. Will test it out for a few more days.
Donation coming up... although where???
Server is upgraded to Exchange 2010 now for those who are interested PM me or subscription details.
Anyone else using this service? Seems to be down right now.

hello everyone,
i tried out mail2web a few days ago and i cant imagine its completely free.
I'm a bit confused that mail2web might sell the data i've synced with their exchange server to some advert / spam companies...
does anyone of you know something about mail2web or is using it on regular basis for mail / contact sync? and why the ... is it free?
Its free assuming you dont want any of the extra features, the ability to change the return address being the one i have learnt to live without. I have been using it for some time now and have had no spurious emails from anyone.
They do have several variants if you are prepared to pay the money and need any the features from the latest version of Exchange. There may be other extras i just haven't looked into them.
You might as well ask, how do Microsft, Google, Yahoo, and others, manage to offer free email, disk space and so on.
If you are looking for an alternative push email solution try Seven Beta. They do push email from other peoples accounts and allow you to send from the relevant account. I am also using this to collect Hotmail, Gmail and a business POP3 account.
Is there any free service like mail2web, offering downloading mail via ActiveSync? Mail2web stops AS on their free service, so I have to look for an alternative.
