As far as business-class email goes, Intermedia’s offering seems to be the best bet. We use their hosted exchange service for our twenty-five employees and the service they offer has always been reliable. I would be careful of the cheaper exchange hosts- because you get what you pay for.

I have found the MailStreet has updated all of their servers now and they are now offering 200MB of disk space for the same price as their 100MB offer. They have grown so much in the past couple years and they keep hiring new support tech’s….I think they are the best in the industry as far as speed, stability, support and reliability….MailStreet Rules…!!!

I would try intermedia.net (http://www.intermedia.net/it-professionals/hosted-exchange/hosted-exchange.asp). They have been running SP2 for quite a while and also offer free ActiveSync – 4smartphone is OK i think, but not really business quality.

I have been using 1&1 for several years. They currently support direct push and offer 1GB of server storage for $7/month

FWIW- I upgraded my XV6700 last night and direct push -IS- working with Mailstreet…

I’ve been a customer for about 2.5 years now. I just did the VX6700 update and asked mailstreet what was going on with Direct Push. Here is their response:

“We are in the process of migrating our servers based on the firmware update provided by all the carriers. Yes, we will soon be able to run the pushpull technology.”

A little vague. I’m going to give them a bit and then ping again.

Hmm, I’m on MSE4, and still no SP2. I wonder if ‘starting next week, we will initiate the deployment of SP2′ means ‘starting next week, the two-month process of installing SP2 will begin’. Anyone seeing it yet?

Yay! I emailed MailStreet sales and support with a link to this page, saying that they are going to lose customers over this issue. I just got a response: “Starting next week, we will initiate the deployment of SP2, one forest at a time.”

I almost “pulled the trigger” an signed up for MailStreet. I need support for my BlackBerry device inaddition to the other hosted benefits. Until I read James’s concerns about SP2, I did not know this should be a consideration. I am a “one man band” so cost is a consideration. I look forward with interest to the further discussions and advice.
