As we mentioned in our previous post, Entourage 2008 Exchange Web Services was due to be released soon… It has now been released and is available in 11 different languages from the Office 2008 for Mac website. The update has been tested with our mail2web Mobile Email Pro service as well as our Business Exchange service and myhosting.com Hosted Exchange Email service, and works well. For those users who have already configured their accounts in Entourage and have installed the updates, you do not need to make any changes. Your account will continue to function as before.
And if you are setting up your account in Entourage 2008 for the first time, you can take advantage of the improved AutoUpdate support, which makes configuring your account even easier! One of the other new features which you can take advantage of is Task and Note synchronization to and from the Exchange Server.
If you haven’t configured your account in Entourage yet, when you start it for the first time you should see the “Account Setup Assistant”. If you don’t see it, choose the “Tools” menu and click “Accounts…”. Then click on the “New” button. Then you can follow these steps below to set up your mail2web Mobile Email account.

This post assumes you know a little something about Windows SharePoint Hosting. If you’ve never heard about SharePoint but you have, at some point, had a need to set up a secure, password-protected site to store documents with version control, collaborate, back up files off site, run project management software, a knowledge base or a whole host of productivity applications, you should check it out (and then read this).
One of the things we do that’s unique is provide unlimited sub-directories with every SharePoint site we provision. What this means in SharePoint speak is that you can have unlimited number of sub-webs, each with it’s own function and potentially its own membership.
For example, say you signup for a SharePoint site under the domain http://team.mycompany.com. At that top level you can add users and assign permissions (Read, Contribute, Design or Full Control ) and provide those users access to documents at that level.
But then you can add a Wiki (as an admin, go to Site Actions > Create > Sites and Workspaces ) as a sub-web. This would now appear as http://team.mycompany.com/wiki . This sub-site can be part of the navigation or not – your choice. And this sub site can inherit the same users and permission – with a single click – or have an entirely unique set of users and permissions.
Another really cool feature – sub-webs can be created in a different language. Keep in mind not all the languages offer application templates (click here for a list and description of application templates) but all 25+ languages supported include the built in templates like Wiki’s and Blogs.
Maybe you want to run a project that not everyone is involved in, this too could be quickly added and not even included in the navigation if you want to keep it private (eg. http://team.mycompany.com/projectx/ )
There are a couple obvious advantages to using sub-webs as I’ve described. First, it saves you money – you don’t have to buy multiple SharePoint accounts to accomplish what I’ve proposed. Second, it’s more practical. Employees or members of your organization aren’t likely to remember multiple SharePoint domains, but they are more likely to remember and use one SharePoint domain - particularly if it’s loaded with content.

I was at HostingCon in Chicago last week and I heard someone comment about whether “email was still the killer app.
Besides being a slightly useless thing to say, it occurred to me that email never was a killer app. A text message is a message. Read the rest of this entry »

Hello,
There’s a cool trick you can use to push almost any email account (POP3 or IMAP4) to a mobile device.
It’s not actually a trick but a few features we’ve put together into a 3-step process that will allow you to use a mail2web.com Personal Exchange account to handle almost any POP3 or IMAP4 account – like a gmail or yahoo email account.
By default, all our mail2web.com Exchange accounts are capable of pushing your mail2web.com email account using ActiveSync, RoadSync (good for Nokia, Motorola or Sony Ericsson users) or Blackberry.
But what if you want to push an existing email account you use to your mobile device?
All you need to do is sign up for a Personal Exchange account. You’ll get an email address under mail2web.com (eg. your_user_name@mail2web.com). Once you’ve signed up, go into the mail2web.com control panel and under ‘Manage Account’ you’ll see a link at the bottom page that says: “NEW FEATURE: use this account to handle another email address.”
This will take you through a 3-step process that doesn’t take more than 2 minutes to complete. The first step is to specify the alternate email address you want to use. We have a quick method to verify that you are the rightful owner of this email account.
The next step asks you to either forward your email to your new email account or use our email aggregator to automatically collect email from that account in regular intervals. Forwarding is a better option if your provider offers this but the email aggregator is easy to set up, free to use and works quite well.
The last step just verifies that you want to change your ‘From Address’ – the address your emails will appear to come from. Once you’ve completed these steps, all email from your original account is now directed to your mail2web.com account. Any email you send will appear to come from your original account but now you can access those through your mobile device as well as through the Outlook Web Access interface. You’ll also get the added bonus of the personal calendar, contacts and tasks that comes with our Personal Exchange account, all of which can be sync’d with your mobile device.
