Im surprised nobody mentioned 1-800-MY-IPHONE which helped some.  At least we got email working.  Turns out my version of Outlook (2000) is too old :P

Im seriously considering switching to gmail.

People still use outlook?


I am voting one of the webgeeks to smack you around and tell you what aps you should be running.



I'd bet your computer is 6+ years old.

On the topic of syncing, I've updated my 3G iPhone to 2.1 also. Yes, it's noticeably faster in the sync department but I've noticed that it actually does not sync a couple of contacts that:

(1) I've altered within a pre-existing contact on the phone (i.e. it's not a new contact I manually entered on the phone, and which had synced OK in the past);

(2) I've added in the Mac's Address Book.

It appears to sync everything else OK. Just not a couple of contacts particularly.

Anyone notice the same? Solutions?   ??? ???

monsterlover: if you go with gmail imap, be sure to google for setup directions.  There are some options to set so that "delete" actually "archives" instead of deletes, etc.

Noted, thanks!

Turns out my normal work email will work, but I have to shut off smpt if i get in a wifi spot to keep mail working.  has to do with the way our stupid server handles email.

that's why i considered switching to gmail, because that works fine wifi or not.  I dont want to have to mess with the phone to make my email show up

Phone is working pretty well.  It flat out obliterates my Verizon PDA phone I had last (XV6900 touch)
