http://reviews.cnet.com/Windows_Mob...l?tag=cnetfd.mt
"Windows Mobile 6 features new shortcuts to make performing tasks easier, and there is added functionality to the Calendar and Contact apps. E-mail improvements include a new search function and HTML support, and there's good Windows Live integration. In addition, the Standard Edition (formerly Smartphone Edition) now includes Microsoft Office Mobile with editing capabilities."
Yeah "Microsoft Office Mobile with editing capabilities" sans document creation capabilities. The same team that designed WMDC must have had a hand in this one. The other "feature" that caught my attention is that the new email and calendar capabilities will only be available with Exchange Server 2007. Once again those of us who don't want to run our own exchanger server will either be left out, or have to wait until our Exchange service provider upgrades. I fall into the latter category. I'm feeling very Standard here.

It's understandable that some features are going to require Exchange and a new version of Exchange too. Microsoft can't just change how IMAP or POP handles email and somehow allow for streaming of the message while you read it.
I think most hosting providers will be upgrading pretty quickly. It's in their best interest after all.

Sorry John, I don't get what you're asking.

The last time it took my provider close to a year. They are big and don't move that quickly. I don't think Exchange uses any of IMAP or POP when you connect directly to the server. It does have POP and IMAP available but I doubt any of the new features will be available through those protocols. I'm a little familiar with this as I used to run my own Exchange server. Someone will correct me if I am wrong.

Right, that's my point. Yes, Exchange can do POP and IMAP, but Microsoft can't just change the protocols to reflect these new features. So it has to be Exchange only.

Really? Wow, that kind of sucks. I would expect better service than that.

OK I misread your statement.
Yeah it does suck that it takes them so long but they are so darn reliable I have been loathe to change. Once things are working they just keep working.

I would hope the consumer oriented Exchange server hosts to move quickly and update their servers, but the enterprise Exchange servers would take a long time and that is the category into which I fall into.

Yeah the host I have takes care of larger companies, so they move slower. I don't blame them.

What I was trying to say was it would be 'cool' to have Smartphonethoughts or pocketpcthoughts, etc host an Exchange 2007 email service.
My current provider didn't add push email because they don't use exchange and are planning on it.
