So Jerome, regarding the initial question, if it were my decision to eventually move from PM to Mail because the "push" services were not to be offered at all then I should probably do it ASAP to account for the small degree of arc in my learning curve. Do you foresee the possibility of PM going in that direction, or should I go ahead and start "dumbing- down". I'll miss everything I have come to appreciate and enjoy about PM; the staff's attention to users concerns, the community that has contributed, and mostly the interface that has been my email experience for so long. But considering the changes that have occurred over the years of using PM and the changes that are to come in the near future, having email (at least) files updated on ALL computers at ALL times (I use a laptop, desktop and iPhone) is too compelling to avoid. If you feel you can't comment publicly Jerome because you might advocate a switch, feel free to write me directly. I know this thread moved away slightly from my initial inquiry, but I'm really curious about the future of "push" services and what your (and other's) take might be. Regards...
