The dual-licensed Funambol v3 server supports a wide range of mobile handhelds, including Windows Mobile devices, the RIM BlackBerry, SyncML-compliant phones, and "any" WAP-enabled phone, according to the company. Funambol says its push email software provides send, receive, and forward functions, and allows users to open attachments, check email on and offline, and accept or decline meeting requests. The package also provides "standard" over-the-air synchronization of calendars, to-do lists, contacts, and other PIM (personal information management) data, the company adds. Other touted features include support for Exchange, Domino, IMAP, and POP email servers"</i><br /><br />Open Source or not, it's nice to see other solutions that support push email on the Windows Mobile platform. If you're looking to do push email on your devices, but can't afford an Exchange server, you might want to look into this option.
