remote exchange email via iPaq

[BigMrC]

Our company has been using visto in conjunction with our exchange server to send and receive our work emails remotely via bluetooth mobile phones to our iPaq's. This has been working very well. Until we tried using visto on pocket pc 2003 (iPaq 2210's). Visto have not officially released a pocket pc 2003 version of their message express but they talked me through setting it up on pocket pc 2003. It works except for when you reply to an email - the reply goes into the activesync outbox instead of the visto outbox and there's no way of sending it unitl you active sync. This is a bug and visto will not help because they say they do not "support" 2003 yet. This is extremely frustrating as we have purchased the software from them and have also purchased several 2210's. Has anybody found a fix for this? Or has anybody found a better solution than visto for remote email to an exchange server? We do not want to fork out because we expect to get exchange 2003 when it is released which has remote access built in. Until then we are stumped however - it's not much use if you can't reply to emails while travelling.
Any help on this appreciated.

My understanding is that all Exchange 2003 has done really is fold in Mobile Info Server (from Microsoft), which was/is a separate product using Exchange 2000.

There is no charge for the server, just a per client CAL. Although it might be a bit of work to set up, it would probably let you get a hint of what you'll see when you move to 2003...
