Best email solution for the iPhone

After having messed with this since Friday, I've concluded that GMail is the best solution for iPhone email as of today. Let me explain.
Yahoo Push would be the best if I could specify a different reply-to address. As it stands now, having my emails come from a @yahoo.com address is not acceptable. It seems Yahoo IMAP is the only IMAP that supports push (a marketing decision apparently moreso than a technical one), so push is out until Yahoo or Apple come to their senses.
AT&T is not offering any email options through their service. I used to have mymmode email but that was years ago, and cingularme is down for some reason. Apparently AT&T wants your money for your voice business, but take your email needs elsewhere.
Enter GMail. IF you configre GMail using the GMail option on the iPhone, it forces a @gmail.com address too. However, you can use the Other option and configure using the GMail incoming server (pop.gmail.com), and you can specify the user name ([email protected]) but a different address ([email protected]).
Now, this seems to work only if you use an outgoing server OTHER than GMail's (smtp.gmail.com). During my testing I sent an email and it seemed to come from [email protected] even though I had specified a different address in the Address field. I did not test much as I have another outgoing email option.
As I have Verizon FIOS at home, I can use my outgoing.verizon.net server authenticating using my Verizon.net address. The added bonus here is that it works in either WiFi or Edge, as Verizon's server doesnt care where you are as long as you authenticate.
My email IDs are overrun with SPAM and GMails SPAM filters are excellent. this has the added bonus of cutting down on unwanted email on the iPhone.
Thoughts?

I am essentially doing the same thing for my Exchange account, which SMTP server can't be reached while off of the campus. I use AT&T's own SMTP server for wireless (cwmx.com, I think), and it doesn't change my From: address, so it shows as though I sent it from my campus's Exchange server. Very handy indeed!

Is there an "Unread Mail" solution for the iPhone that would allow me to see all new Unread mail? I have ove 100 subfolders with rules that redirect mail.

Is there an "Unread Mail" solution for the iPhone that would allow me to see all new Unread mail in one location?
I have an iPhone 4 (not 4S). I use the Outlook client with an Exchange Server on my Desk.
In order to keep email organized, I have many subfolders (over 100) under my Inbox with rules that automatically redirect the bulk of new unread email to the subfolders.
In the Outlook client on the desktop, there is an "Unread Mail" Folder that lets me see ll unread mail in one location whether it be in the main inbox or in one of the subfolders of the inbox.
I would like to see all unread email in one location without me having to change my rules and work flow that I have been using for 7+ years?
It is much more work for me (so far) to see new email on the iPhone. You have to scan each subfolder in order to tell where the new mail is that just arrived.

What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s?

What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s? If I drop my phone I don't want it to crack or break. How protective is the Gorrila Glass?

I am using the Otterbox Defender, and it's a great case.
Gorilla glass is a glass applied to phones (not the iPhone, it does not use Corning branded glass), but the iPhone screen is pretty good against scratches.

Has Verizon changed email settings for the iPhone?

Hi-
have an iPhone with iOS6 installed. Haven't changed a thing for quite a while, but it stopped receiving Verizon/Yahoo emails yesterday (using the built-in Mail app). Did Verizon change something on the email settings? My emails are coming into my home computer so my password is correct and active.
thanks

I've been wracking my brain over this for a few days and I finally found the solution. Before it was enough to just use your username to access your email account, but since Yahoo's outage you apparently need to add "@verizon.net" to the end of your username for it to work. I was going crazy because I quadruple checked my port and SSL settings on my phone like all the other forum posts suggest. All my settings lined up with what they should ave been but still wouldn't work. On a whim, a final desperate try before I deleted the account from my phone, I added the "@verizon.net" after my username, and the !#@%# thing worked! Give it a try. It certainly won't make it work any LESS.

What is the best storage solution for the new Mac Pro

Hi All,
With limited funds when purchasing the new Mac Pro, I'm starting to look at storage for music/pictures/video etc - I'm thinking of storing this data externally and connecting via Thunderbolt or Firewire or USB3 to access the data... Not sure what type of storage to use, upgrading to 1TB PCIe-based flash seems excessive for costs and I would like at least 2TB, anyone have any suggestions?
What are the alternatives for storage... (single disk Raid) I've recently had to replace my internal WD hard drive (lost everything) and the backup time capsule failed, again knackered disk (looks like WD format error with Maverick OS bug), don't want to format them just incase..
With the new Mac Pro coming with 256GB PCIe-based flash storage, I'm reluctant to upgrade the storage because of costs and would like some redudancy when it comes to storage.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks
Russ

landing page at OWC for Thunderbolt products.
Helios enclosure (the new dual-slot Helios PCIe chassis) and moving various hard drives into Thunderbolt cases (in time) but mainly into my favorite USB3 hard drive enclosure.
For those without eSATA enclosures, a simple eSATA to USB3 adapter might do the trick.
USB3 is plenty fast to house two hard drives.
If you can, I'd try to order with 500GB to get started and have more room for system and default for scratch or even for Aperture/iPhoto or Lightroom.
Always take the precaution and zero a drive before use. Want a solid enterprise ideal for RAID, then look no further than Seagate Constellation series. 128MB cache doesn't hurt and fine for RAID5, NAS or whatever you want.
There should be retail PCIe-SSD products in 2014.

What is the best headset for the iphone 5 that is not bluetooth. I need great listening and speaking quality.

What would you consider to be the "best" non-bluetooth headset for the Iphone 5? I have had some serious health issues of which could be stemming from the bluetooth and I need great sound quality both listening and speaking. Any suggestions?

Problem with wired headsets is that there is not std for mic in headsets so if its not 100 % made for iphones it will not work

Please specify the letter you think is missing. You should be able to find all letters you need by holding down keys which generate popup menus to give you additional options.

Which case is the best for the iPhone 6?

So I am just wondering which case would be the best for the iPhone 6. I know that there are plenty of different cases out there. And I would like to get one that doesn't limit the use of the phone. But I also need the case that's good with drops and what not. Not that I make a habit of dropping my phone.

Of course, "best" case is in the eyes of the person using the phone.
Some would say it is an Otterbox, others would say it is a case which does not add too much bulk, others would say it is a case which extends battery life of your device, my daughter says the best case is the one she thinks is the most attractive(and minimizes bulk) and jorgeo_vzw has given his opinion which differs from at least a few of these options.
My best suggestion would be to determine what your usage habits are and choose according to those habits. The best case will not be the same case for everyone.

Im going to go ahead and assume your talking to me?
    I ended up in this thread in search of a functional Exchange ready mail client capable of supporting multiple mail profiles. Since there are no free applications to accomplish this in the app stor, which I can find, I figured I'd leverage the 'community' for some direction before throwing good money after bad.
   As I assume Im not the only one to do this, I figured I'd help straighten these folks out on the lingo (as they werne't applying it properly) and the sassy 'sound like apple users' comment references the way ANTI-apple folks assume you people are less than adequite users.
   If I called an apple an orange, you would say I was wrong. If I did it repeatedly, after correction, you would assume Im incompetant.
   Seriously, its a stupid machine and will only do what you tell it. (true for all computers, apple or otherwise)
   So if I ask for a mail client, dont give me a provider. If I ask for a service, dont name a client.
    Your right, this post is old. And stilll doesnt have an answer. . .
    In response to MichelPM, I didnt call your baby ugly. The 'Bandwagoning' is cute though. My advice is sound, and helping you folks not to look so... well... stupid.
    Since you interceded though, how about a little help? What mail client do you use? Is it exchange Compatible, with active sync? Does it offer multi-profile support? And the clients want images in their signatures, and multi signature support. (I can do this with my android phone )
Im looking forward to your responses.

My guess is they don't care. Most likely they're illiterate and don't know what a colon is for. They probably think it's a little-used character. Remember: these are the people who don't know the difference between "deprecate" and "depreciate".
I have the same colon problem as you do. But it's not the biggest problem I have encountered in Lion. If it was only that I'd be Mr. Delighted with Lion. There's worse than having a colon - uh - that won't cooperate. A lot worse, in Lion.

Connect the iPhone to your Mac with its USB cable and launch iPhoto. In iPhoto you can select which files to upload into the library. Once in the library export them out of iPhoto to a folder on the Desktop via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export with Kind=Original. That will give you copies of the videos in the folder for use outside of iPhoto.
If you want to bypass importing into iPhoto try launching Image Capture and manually upload the selected video files to the folder of your choice.
