Synchronica is the real deal if your company has blocked out imap and pop access for security reasons. It works flawlessly!!! I can send and receive email as if I was using my company issued blackberry. Calendars and Tasks can not be synced even though they show up on the phone.

Looks like iPXSync.com also does this,
but also syncs Calendars, Folders and Tasks to the iPhone – sounds as good as true ActiveSync.

It’s working for me, but sometimes really struggles to pull down anything other than the headers (even over wifi). I’m sure OTA EAS via HSDPA on the BlackJack left me a tad spoiled, but I’ve been tempted to go back to simply using OWA in the mobile Safari browser – it’s probably faster for checking if not replying in my experience thus far.

David, no official word on Apple licensing Microsoft’s ActiveSync yet but we’re watching and waiting to see if it happens.

well I have an iphone but I don’t want to risk giving someone else my credentials without any control because I have stuff like online banking details etc do you know if activesync is coming soon for iphone ?

David, yes you have to provide your Exchange credentials for their gateway service. There’s no way for them to be the conduit for your e-mail without. Agreed; it’s a less than ideal situation and one that folks will have to evaluate if their Exchange provider doesn’t offer IMAP support.

You say it uses OWA, does that mean they have to know/cache my exchange credentials?

I guess I’m asking are my credentials secure, if they have them they could be used or compromised and I’d never know or be able to trace anyone logging into OWA as me directly, and that scares me…

No price yet and it could be that Synchronica offers this to Exchanger providers and enterprises. I’ve seen no details yet on who they’ll be selling this to or how much it will cost.

It looks interesting but doesn’t seem to be setup for the solo user?

Did you see a price anywhere for the app?
