OK sticking with Treo. Me, too, for now, anyway.
I don't use hotmail because I don't like knowing (or thinking I'm
knowing) Bill Gates is storing mail I thought I'd deleted. Same for the
rest of the freebies. Of course, Comcast could be doing the same thing,
but there's no record of that -- so far -- the way there is with Yahoo,
Google, and MS
As far as the other point -- everything is on my Treo, and when I'm
working from a desk, everything's on my laptop, meaning Palm Desktop.
What everything's not on is Tbird's address book, which means I have to
look up, then cut and paste, email address -- unless I duplicate them,
which usually I don't until I actually need one, at which time I look it
up and cut and paste it into the TB address book for now and future use.
Hence my wish for one (laptop-based) address book to rule them all,
and in the lightness bind them.
