This is only for the super techy out there.
Who has a Blackberry?
I am currently set up with T-Mobile and I'm getting my email at work using a POP mail server. What is really annoying is that I might be gone for 5 hours and have read 20 emails on my phone, and when I get back to the office, I have to reprocess those 20 "unread" emails.
My understanding is that I can get an Exchange Server so that when I read something on my cellphone and delete it, it will go INTO my Outlook and also delete it*. That also goes for sorting into folders. Also if I read an email in my desktop Outlook, and I delete it, it will remove it from my cell phone automatically.
No need to double process my emails (especially spam).
My question is, who else use a MS Exchange Server and where do you host it? How much do you pay?
Also what benefits does IMAP mail offer over POP? Will it offer all of the above that I'm looking for?

* I did figure out that using POP I could change some settings so that if my Outlook on my desktop is turned OFF (logged off) I could delete read messages from my cell phone and it would remove it from the server and thus not download on my desktop. This is nice, but not enough.
