hi all,

i bought a new pda and am using gprs quite alot. It has been recommended to
me I use exchange for email etc as it saves bandwidth. I have a few
questions.

I am thinking of setting my work address up as exchange - I run the website
and extra and email..

The problem is I have a dilema as to whether to set up personally address up
to forward to the work exchange address or leave it as pop3 Ideally I would
like it to forward but would like the option to change the sending address
when replying to personally email to my personally address.

At the min I have two pop3 addresses and I choose which to reply from....

Any advice greatly appreciated, any comments on the advantages of exch over
pop3 on a pocketpc would also be appreciated.

If you have got Exchange 2003 and a Pocket PC powered device then it
makes absolutle sense to run your email through it rather than any POP
client or POP server. Keep it all in one place and your use of GPRS is
a big plus since the connection can be allways-on enabling you to sync
up every 5/10 minutes and keep right up to date.

So is the bandwidth usage a lot less with exchange. Is it possible to run
and exchange account and a pop3 together in Outlook ? I could set my home
email to forward to the exchange - as I would really like the email to be in
one place.

I run two pop3s at the min and I can choose which one I send from, is it
possible to use exchange and select the account again so for personal email
the from address is my home address and for work replies it is my work
address ?

Utilisation <can> be more efficient, depending on options selected on
the client. It can also be higher if choices are not made well.

You can use Exchange and connect a MAPI profile usign Outlook
2002/2003 and then use a POP/IMAP account. The mail can be collected
from the two places and be delivered to the one location. You can
have several POP/IMAP accounts.

Unless you set up an AD contact and grant send as rights you won't be
able to send as if you were coming from the home account. That said
I'm not an Outlook guy (look in those groups) and I know that there is
some basic stuff you can do to make Outlook work the way you want.
