Service Provider Solutions Category

MS-CATALOG Exchange My Mail has finally been added to the Microsoft Service Provider Solutions Category on the Microsoft Website.
We have a listing in the Hosted Exchange section.

In order to be listed in the directory, companies must meet certain requirements, which to be honest seem to vary depending on who you talk to.There are minimum requirements that must be met; Microsoft Gold Partner, member of SPLA licensing program, and report a minimum amount of revenue to Microsoft. In addition, you must meet minimum requirements of adding several hundred new mailboxes each month. This is to show that the company is continually adding new customers, and will be a viable partner with Microsoft.

We are extremely excited about finally being listed, as we have been working on this for quite some time now. Our understanding is that this new service provider portal will be replacing the legacy system which had been in place for a few years now. Our dedication to Microsoft Exchange, and it’s related services cannot be compared. As of this writing, Hosted Exchange is the company’s main focus. We don’t get bogged down with web hosting, pop mail servers, CRM, VPS servers etc. All of those items have their place in the industry, and maybe some day we will begin to offer those. But for now, Exchange My Mail continues to focus on Hosted Exchange 2007 and stay dedicated to it core business.

Our customers appreciate this dedication to one specific niche as we have been extremely successful at acquiring new customers, and adding mailboxes. Our dedicated sales and support teams can stay focused on Microsoft Exchange and all of it’s benefits without the need to draw away their attention to other systems. This has given Exchange My Mail a distinct advantage over all of our competition.

Evernote now released to the public.

evernote-iphone

Evernote is now open to the public. I started using this utility about a month ago, and it’s awesome.

For those of you who have not yet heard of Evernote, This neat service allows you to capture, share and find information.

It’s searchable and available from anywhere. Think of it as a notebook that you can send information to, and then search for old notes when they are needed.

Her’s how it works:
Capture information you want to save using either the desktop application ( windows & mac ), the web clipper tool, or send it to an email address.
The information is then sorted, and indexed on their servers, and made accessible to all of your devices. When you need to find something, simply search for it using the built in search feature. Information is kept confidential, unless you chose to make it public.

They even have an application that will run on the iPod Touch as well as any iPhone enabled with the 2.0 firmware. Simply download it from the Apple AppStore
Details Here

As of this writing the service is free if you want to store less than 2GB of data, or you can pay a monthly fee to get more storage.

The downloads page offers easy access to all of the available options:

AT&T Starts BlackBerry Bold Employee Training

According to several resources, AT&T has already started training their employees on the BlackBerry Bold.  RIM which is usually quite about new products before launch has offered much more insight this time.

With the BOLD prominently displayed on their website for a few

weeks now, and the WES announcement, could this be a change in how RIM will launch new devices in the future?

I am sure that I am not the only one waiting for this new device to hit the stores, so could it happen soon?

We have learned from the past that AT&T doesn’t start their training programs until a few weeks before launch. Seems the rumor is that the launch will be the last week of August or the first week of September.

My 8300 is shot, scratched lens, drool from my 10 month old son trying to eat it, numerous drops from waist high, and yet it still works perfectly. You really just can’t beat a BlackBerry when it comes to durability and the wireless synchronization it provides, especially when connected to our Hosted Microsoft Exchange and Hosted BlackBerry Enterprise Servers.

As you can see I’m super excited for this new device ( which I already have on order with RIM ).
SHIP IT ALREADY! :- )

G-Park for iPhone

This cool new app from posimotion.com uses the GPS feature built into the new   iPhone to help you find where you parked your car.

Easy to use, simply press the “Park me!” button (You can also add notes if you wish).

When it comes time to find where you parked, simply hit the “Where Did I Park button.  This brings up google maps, and creates a turn by turn set of directions that will lead you right back to your car.

This app will also work on the legacy iPhone as well as the iPod Touch.

As of this writing no word on cost.

Turn a Business Card into an iPhone Stand

One thing you’ll soon discover is that there’s no comfortable way to watch videos, as the iPhone doesn’t come with a stand. You’ll either have to hold it… or try to prop it up at a decent viewing angle.

OR - Fish a business card out of your wallet. Instructables shows you how to turn an ordinary business card into a damn good iPhone stand (it works quite nicely with the iPod touch, too).

Once you get the iPhone standing properly, make sure you checkout the new ActiveSync features, and wirelessly sync it with your Hosted Exchange 2007 Mailbox.

Hosted Exchange now available for the iPhone

iPhone Exchange FeatureAlbertson, NY, July 11,2008 -

Exchange My Mail is pleased to announce that we have tested the new firmware update 2.0 and have had great success in getting the iPhone to connect to our Hosted Exchange Servers.

With this update or the new 3G iPhone, users can now get wireless synchronization of email, contacts and calendar with their Exchange Outlook profile. This will work with Exchange 2003 and 2007 by simply following the basic ActiveSync instructions provided free with every mailbox. Additional features include Global Address List lookup and remote wipe capabilities.

ActiveSync has been widely used in recent years due to the popularity of Windows Mobile phones such as the Samsung Blackjack, Motorola Q, AT&T Tilt and Palm Treo phones to name a few. Users have found the convenience and functionality of the program to be invaluable. iPhone users are now able to join this esteemed group by either purchasing the new 3G iPhone or updating the firmware to 2.0 ( when publicly available ) and can take advantage of full wireless synchronization from their Exchange My Mail web based control panel.
