But I would have thought that any handheld device is going to let you store copies of sent mail, and that when you synchronise with whatever software, it will synchronise sent folders. So I am not really sure why this would be too different to what you experiencd previously.
IMAP would also do the trick since you are essentially controlling all of your mail on the server, not at your computer. So whichever computer you're on you'll be able to access the same info. cheers Garth At 07:10 12/08/02 -0400, you wrote: >I was away last week and just catching up on old posts. > >What is the best solution to work with wireless devices such as a Blackberry >and/or Treo Handheld?
