I've just registered 'mailtomymobile.com' with the intention of putting up some guides to configuring various mail applications on WM devices, as well as recommending mail service providers etc. If anyone want's to contribute, PM me.
Also, the hosting I have will let me create email forwarders, so if anyone wants an email address @mailtomymobile.com, PM me again - I'd appreciate a small one-off PayPal donation if I set one up for you, as I'm going to have to renew the domain every year!

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.
Fellow XDA Users!
I have set up a mail system hosted by Google with the domain name 'mailtomymobile.com'.
You can have an account there if you'd like one - it's based on Googlemail, so you get all the features ofGmail - large disk capacity, full web access, forwarding, spam filtering etc, and of course, you can access it via POP3 or preferably IMAP on your XDA.
There is a limit of 500 user acocunts available beyond which it is not financially viable... if you'd like an acocunt, I'm asking for a one-off donation for setup of £10 (20 USD)... some of the funds generated will be donated to this site and xdasite.com to contribute towards running costs. PrivateMessage me or email [email protected] with the username you require and a secondary email address where the login information etc can be sent, and I'll get back to you with more details. Usernames are, of course, first come, first served.

Perhaps I'm missing something...what advantage (other than the domain name) does this give someone over a normal gmail account or a gmail account forwarded to a free mail2web.com account if they want "push" email? Those are free where yours is not and there is the added risk of having your email administered by an unknown person.
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.
Hi,
I have posted this as another thread but later thought about it, and it's more general rather then being specific to my device, certainly all wm6.1 devs and possabily earlier.
Basically i use my diamond to connect to my exchange server which hosts my personal mail, i have a forwarder which forwards all my mail to the exchange, so i can easily pick up my work mail from my personal exchange.
This is where my problem begins when i reply to a email or send it uses my exchange mail box.
I have added the work mail box to my phone with a rogue pop3 for source email so i am not pulling the same email from 2 sources, and specified smtp correctly and used the right username\pass.
I hoped by doing this when i send an email or replied it would ask me which account to send from however it uses which ever account you are in at the time of creating the mail.
I don't know if anyone else has achieved this or even tried anything similar.
Any suggestions welcomed.
thanks in advance
james
G'day.
I've been running Exchange 2003 for myself and a couple of winmo using friends for around a year now, but I really want to use Exchange 2010 for its SMS features and better Outlook web access.
Unfortunately due to the hardware requirement of the latest Exchange, it is not financially tenable for me to host it for a small group. So I was wondering if you guys would like to be hosted for?
Exchange 2010 features specific to winmo (6.5+);
-SMS Sync'ing/backup
-SMS response from Outlook/OWA
-Push
Naturally there is the usual exchange features of contacts/calenders/etc. Don't think I will be able to do Voicemail without messing around with a SIP provider.
I'll also add host server using applications that people think would be nice. For me, that would be TrackMe - others may have other ideas which I will have no issue adding provided it is possible, and it can be shared for us all. Will also be able to allow users to point there own domains at the server, and send from them.
I imagine I should be able to allow mailbox sizes to go between 2-6GB, depending on how many people are interested.
So for this poll, would you be willing to pay $5 towards such a service? I'll try serve for as many people as possible, but I won't oversell the space. Could upgrade specs as and when necessary though .
Feel free to ask me any questions about my idea!
Bumpedy bump
Exchange is good stuff. I don't think that many people realize the many benefits of using it!
Intrested yes
But a few questions, what about reilibility if your server breaks? are we going to have to change our email addresses?? lastly how fast is your connection as you could get quite a few accounts ???
Thanks

There are a number of ways you can ensure mail delivery without the intervention of the Exchange server
-1. Setup a secondary mail account, and a forwarder as your second MX entry in your DNS config (provided you have your own domain - 123reg.co.uk do this for example)
-2. Wait. The message will be delivered eventually. SMTP servers tend to retry for awhile until successful.
I doubt I will add our own backup exchange server. Although I will backup mailboxes so if the server does die for whatever reason, they can be restored when it is fixed.
Yes, you will be able to use your own domain to receive, and send mail from the server. Obviously, this won't work with domains you don't own (hotmail, gmail etc). So yes, you can use your own email address. Should that be an issue, I will provide a generic address such as [email protected]
As for connection speed - this is not something I would be hosting on my home connection, although it would handle it fine. Home connections are often blacklisted by destination SMTP servers. The server will be in a datacenter with either a 10mbit or 100mbit uplink, in the country where most our users are. However, it is unlikely I will allow more than 30 users on our server due to mailbox storage considerations. I only want enough people to make the server financially viable for myself, I am not out to profit.
Besides, judging from the poll so far, I don't think I'll have enough users to start!
I actually have a hosting setup for a few XDA users. I charge $50/year with "unlimited" storage - I haven't seen any mailboxes grow uncontrollably thus far, so we'll see how it goes. I have two mailbox servers (for those of you in the know, yes, it is a DAG) to ensure uptime. Both servers have RAID 1 hard drives. One is hosted in a datacenter in Chicago (Ubiquity) using a Dell PowerEdge 1950. The backup server is self hosted at home - so mail access may be slow if the primary goes down.
Let me know if you guys want more details.
