Here's a question - does .mac email, which is IMAP, offer 2 way sync with my blackberry? this may be a dumb question, but I have only ever dealt with pop3 email, which never really helped my situation. I'm not really sure about how IMAP works as I have never used it, but as I understand it, it operates 2 way syncing (meaning if I write an email on my BB it will show in my sent folder when I access it via my Mac at home, etc.) I love my BB, but I use BIS, and so at times the capabilities are limited. I want total email sync! Does .mac mail support this and work properly? I am jealous of my friends who have BES, because theirs seems to work so much more seamlessly.
Also, another question. I know the issues of providers vary greatly, but I currently am thinking of switching to either T-Mobile or Cingular to get an 8700. Anyone have any positives or negatives comparing the two? I live in Phoenix AZ but travel frequently (mainly only to large metro areas and internationally). I despise poor customer service but also understand that you get what you pay for. Any suggestions?
And, finally, if .mac email doesn't work seamlessly (2 way sync, etc.) with a BB, does anyone know of any good email programs that do?! I love Gmail and am sad to leave but until they offer true 2 way sync, I can't use them. I know they offer that program that you can download but I don't want that. Rumor mill was that Yahoo offered 2 way sync, but who knows.
Thanks!
