I was paying for one of the hosted Exchange services for a while to have something to test against. Costs were okayish, but as I wasn't really doing much with it and it became more expensive once the initial trial period was over, I canceled that.

I know what you mean :-( There still seem to be people who care, but their number is shrinking. -- Best Regards Patrick Ohly _______________________________________________ SyncEvolution mailing list -- syncevolution@syncevolution.org To unsubscribe send an email to syncevolution-le...@syncevolution.org %(web_page_url)slistinfo%(cgiext)s/%(_internal_name)s
