As MobileMe begins to become more stable and operable,
I began investigating its push email functions.
After reading other message boards I realized I faced the same
frustration that many other people are having with MobileMe ---
the fact that it is designed to only work with your .me or .mac
email account.
All of us have main email accounts that we use outside of our
Mac address. None of those accounts can be simply added to
MobileMe.
I think there may be a solution which is why I am posting this
message, hoping that as the rest of you come aboard, you will
help figure this out.
The solution COULD be Google Mail (GMail).
Currently, my Home Theater Forum email account is filtered through
GMAIL as it gets all the spam stripped before forwarding to my iPhone.
What if I set GMAIL to forward all my mail to my .me/.mac account?
The only thing I am worried is about is replying to the mail. I want
my Home Theater Forum emails to be replied through that address,
NOT the .me/.mac address.
I am hoping someone here gets it all figured out over the next few days.
BTW, I am reading that Apple is delaying the software download
that updates the preference pane on Leopard to go from .MAC to
.ME. It should be made available through software update as soon
as the company gets the service stabilized.
