Tomorrow Microsoft is making push, activesync email, calendar, etc. available to all Hotmail users for free.
Since there is no "Hotmail app" like we have for Gmail and even Yahoo Mail, what ACTUAL options with ACTUAL process info do you guys think will work best? New port and server info, perhaps?
If they're gonna give me a solid, free IMAP option, you better believe I'm gonna start using Hotmail more than I do now.
-HTC Mail app: I detest the HTC Mail app, which at-best fails to accurately reflect the UI of the web-based client (Gmail UI is close but fast, Yahoo's is similar but slow). I don't want to use the Mail app unless I have to.
-3rd party apps off the market: I don't use K9 or any of the others b/c gmail integration & app is terrific for my mobile needs, and the Yahoo app gets the job done for the few things I actually use Yahoo for, so I the "just use k9" answer is reasonable, but since MOST people don't use it and won't, what are the other non-market options?
-Web-based Hotmail: Actually, they got their act together and the mobile web UI is pretty nice now...much better than 6 months ago. It's pretty darn fast and you can access your folders, but naturally you can't access your phone's contact list (for 99% of users).
