Best e-mail server to use with iPhone and Mac?

I've always used hotmail as my e-mail server. Recently, I've started using the Mail app on my MacBook Pro instead. I really hate that the mail on my iPhone and the mail on my Mac do not sync with one another. Any suggestions??

should I forward any emails I would like to keep to my gmail account or is there a faster way of doing this?

Recommendations for Semi-Pro or Pro HD Video camera to use with fcp and Mac

Recommendations for Semi-Pro or Pro HD Video camera to use with fcpX and Mac with auto settings and ability to override, need to add external mic or 2. Am one person crew so needs to be easy to use.

And check out the Panasonic AG-AC90. Very good specs for a prosumer unit. Everything in the semi-pro area will involve trade offs for sure. Key thing is to study up enough to know what your needs are vs what trade off are involved in the various models. The ag-ac90 trade off (one of them) is diffraction limited sharpness.

What is the best mail server software, compatible with G5 and OS X 10.5.8?

Hello.
I want to install/set up a mailserver on Mac OS X 10.5.8.
It will host approximately 35users, should have pop, imap, spam protection, webmail/admin interface, routing feature, all the usual stuff, I'm doing this because we often have to recieve very large files and having a mailserver on local network makes working with them so much faster. What would you recommend?
Thanks in advance.

There isn't enough data in your post to create an informed answer.
For one, are you talking Mac OS X client, or Server?
Mac OS X Server already includes all the various mail server components you talk about, and it's based on Postfix, one of the most popular open source mail servers around.
Secondly, having your own mail server will only be 'so much faster' for local users sending/receiving local mail (i.e. from users on the same network). Every other email has to go out (or come in) over your office internet connection and having your own mail server doesn't change that one bit.
At that point, if you're only talking local users, it sounds like what you want is a file server, not a mail server. Mail is not designed for large file transfers.
Third, even if you don't want Mac OS X Server's solution, and you can deal with the bandwidth, you haven't mentioned cost - what's your budget here. You won't find a free/open source solution that's more complete and easier to use than Apple's bundle, so now you're into the commerical offerings. All of them charge, typically per user and some of them (as already mentioned) are mothballing their PPC support, meaning any invenstment in their option might be short-lived.
So I think you need to better state your goals and ideals before you can find the 'best' solution (if any of them are really 'better' than any other).

Best PC mail client to use with SLS?

Hi!
What e-mail is the best client on windows to use with SLS? I have a customer that contemplates moving from SBS to SLS. IMAP in Outlook isn't a problem but addressbook server and before all, ical calendar sharing is a problem. I have seen EMClient, an Outlook alternative that does CalDAV and IMAP, but is there an Outlook calDAV plug-in of some sort to sync calendar 2-way and to be able to see availability on the iCal server?

Hi!
Thanks for the sugestion!
I am now testing ical4ol together with IMAP in Outlook 2007 and the ical sync part is working just fine! Think I will go with that solution.

Confliction errors with iPhone and Mac Mail

I am having constant issues with the iPhone causing my Mac Mail to dislay "The POP server *** rejected the password for user *******" dialog box when the iPhone and/or any of my computers try to pick up mail at the same time on the same accounts. The password and user name are correct. Has anyone found a setting to enable multiple computers and iPhone to collect mail from the same accounts without issue? Does this same issue happen with Entourage?

A POP account is not designed to be accessed by multiple email clients at the same time and the email client used makes no difference in this regard at the incoming mail server for the account.
This is usually not a problem with an IMAP account. I don't have this problem with my .Mac account - the Mail.app on my PB runs 24/7 checking my email accounts for new messages every 15 minutes. Since using the iPhone to access my .Mac account and a business POP account, the POP account on my PB is taken offline but not my .Mac account. I've accessed my .Mac account with both at the same time with no problems.
If you are unable to switch to an IMAP account, you will need to turn off having the POP account checked for new messages automatically by the Mail.app.

Proxy use with uverse and mac

Hi,
I'm trying to use a proxy (BTGuard) with my Mac Mini and MacBook that are connected to a 2wire 3800HGV-B (Uverse). I've tried opening the ports that the proxy is using to no avail. When I try it as a PC (running Paralells) is works fine, which leads me to beleive the Macs are not getting along with the 2wire. Would opening the 2wire on DMZPlus to an Airport Extreme resolve this issue? Any help would be appreciated. I hate running Paralells. Thanks!

If you are accessing GMail via IMAP labels can be configured like Mailboxes, and you can still use SmartMailboxes on your Mac. If you enable the Advanced IMAP controls in GMail's web interface you can configure which Labels/Mailboxes appear in IMAP email clients. And in Mac OS X Mail you can map Mail's default folders to GMails folders so everything stays in sync.
Have a read of the link below to see if it answers some of your concerns:

Why do you think you need an official GMail app? The email client that comes with the iPhone works fine with GMail. And there's the official web app.

Portable Hard drive formating for use with windows and mac operating system

Just bought a verbatim sure fire 500g 800 firewire portable hard drive for my new macbook pro. I have not did bootcamp yet because I am deciding on wether to use Vista or the new windows 7 that will be coming out soon. The drive is already formated HFS+, how do I format the drive so I can write both windows and mac files to it. Help!!!

how do I format the drive so I can write both windows and mac files to it.
Either format it to MS-DOS from the DIsk Utility, or install a tool such as MacDrive into Windows and keep the drive in its current format, or install the NTFS-3G driver into Mac OS X and format the drive to NTFS in Windows.

Use of Notes with iphone and Mac Mail

I create notes on my iphone 4.
They appear in my Mac Mail, Mac OS X 10.7.5
When I move the note from my inbox to a folder, it disappears.
Any suggestions?

To get what you appear to want, you need to upgrade to 10.8 where notes is a separate application. If you decide to upgrade here is a list of supported computers:

Best USB 2.0 Hub to use with iPods and Mac Mini 2009?

I am using my Mac Mini as my iTunes station, and I have five iPods
that are connected to my master iTunes Station.
Recently I needed to add a USB drive to add more space to the mini.
Along with a wireless keyboard ( that uses a USB transmuting dongle)
I am short two USB ports. Can anyone recommend a good USB hub
that is compatible with iPod Touch, iPod Mini, IPod Shuffle, iPod Classic 30GB,
and iPod Classic 160GB for iTunes synching and charging?

Anyone have any luck with this hub:

looks like the White Belkin one, but is on Amazon for about half the price, and
other than being brown, I don't see a difference?

Looking for app to store account numbers in that syncs with iphone and mac

Hi all, I have tons of random work information, account info, logins, etc., that I would like to keep on my mac and sync to my iphone. But I would like to have them protected in some fashion.
Anyone have any recommendations?

I recently purchased the mSecure app for the same purpose but cannot get it to sync with the desktop version via wifi as it is supposed to do. Support response from mSecure has been good but still no luck syncing. All of these types of apps require syncing via wi-fi but not much good if it doesn't work. I've tried all of the suggested work-arounds to no avail. Any suggestions would be welcome. I'm trying to sync to a Windows laptop. I'm reluctant to use the same type of apps that back up to an online storage site for security purposes.

External Hard Drive to be used with windows and Mac

I shall paint the picture;
I have a very nice mobile hard drive on it's way to me, and I shall be upgrading to leopard at some point soon after receiving it, my MBP has a 120gb internal HDD and the external on it's way is 160gb .
I will be using it as a time machine HD , but will also be using it to transfer from my mac to college/university PCs.
So, do any of ya'l out there know a good way of going about it? My thoughts are along the lines of creating a separate windows/mac partition because Time Machine I assume uses HFS+ and as far as I am aware, windows is unable to use this.
I am not 100% sure on this so any help or corrections or indeed alternate solutions are welcome.
Only requirements are that it's with my MBP and G-Tech G-Drive mini only, no extra bits and bobs.
Thank you in advance

A 160 GB drive may be a bit small to use to back up a 120GB drive with TimeMachine... and have a separate partition to use for Windows files. While your MacBook Pro's 120GB drive may not be close to full yet... it will likely continue to grow in time. TimeMachine keeps multiple copies of files that you change allowing you to go "back in time" to various points. It will use as much space as is available on the drive. You may want to keep a larger external desktop drive for your TimeMachine backup... or dedicate your entire 160GB to it.
