[MCN-L] iPhone and email access

2007-11-17 Thread Stan Orchard
I am a Mac guy and had been using Entourage while at work and the  
Outlook Web interface while outside the building. Both are a pain to  
me. So recently I started redirecting all mail sent to my Pacific  
Science Center (PacSci) address to my gmail address and created a  
PacSci identity there. I don't synch at all. Everything ends up in  
gmail where I have WAY more storage than our local Exchange Server can  
provide, better spam filtering, and a better interface. First, you can  
now use IMAP with gmail so you can use Mac's Mail app, Outlook,  
whatever. Or you can use the gmail Web interface. I still need to go  
into my PacSci account with the Outlook Web interface every now and  
then to clean out deleted items. The rule I set up redirects all mail  
(as opposed to forwarding) and then deletes all messages. But it does  
not clean out deleted mail so the mailbox still fills up eventually.  
The only other issue I've found is that when the mail is redirected to  
gmail it strips off more than my address. So, if the sender has put  
any cc addresses or multiple addresses in the To: field, they get  
stripped off. I have tried in vain to find a solution for that. If  
anyone knows please enlighten me. Other than that, gmail is WAY better  
at handling mail on my multiple Macs and PCs than Outlook or  
Entourage. I also use Google Calendar. When an Outlook meeting request  
comes in via email, Gmail detects it, asks me if I want to accept the  
invite, then updates my Google Calendar, then sends a message to the  
sender confirming. It cannot update my calendar back at work, but  
frankly most people I work with RARELY use that feature.
