mail2web.com offers free email based on Microsoft Exchange. By “Exchange”, I also mean contacts and calendar synchronization. Webmail is through an ad-laden Outlook Web Access (OWA).

Note that this service doesn’t only apply to iPhones. It should integrate nicely with Windows Mobile phones. I’ll update this entry as soon as I have the time to boot up my old WM5 phone. If you dont have an iPhone or a WM, mail2web.com still will play nicely with your Outlook/Entourage.

Just configure your iPhone like this and you’re good to go.  Be sure to select Microsoft Exchange from Settings -> Mail,Contacts,Calendars -> Add account…

Note: The server field should contain mobile.exchange.mail2webcom. Sorry about that :)

PRO(s):

* FAST! Compared to Mobile Me’s “push” email, this one takes the cake. I use this email for email notifications from social networking sites.

* FREE!

CON(s):

* No server-side filters (like the ones in Yahoo! mail)

If you just want push email, mail2web is for you. Mobile Me is still nice, if you need a web gallery, iDisk, and if you dont mind shelling out $99/yr.

This reminds me of the LiveJournal client for jailbroken iPhones, but this app does more such as attaching pictures (either from Library or from camera) and managing multiple blogs. Pretty cool!
