"This means not only continuing to scale the service, but also including support for more email providers and mobile devices."
Please, please let this mean that they plan on supporting EAS. Migrating to Google Apps for Business in not an option for me, and everyone and his brother is building fancy IMAP-only email clients, while I'm stuck with the default mail client on my iPhone. I love Mailbox's interface, but I barely get a chance to use it, as my primary email address that 99% of my email goes through is on Outlook.com-hosted email.
- X-Istence 14y agoThe biggest problem with Exchange Active Sync is that to implement it you have to pay a licensing fee to Microsoft. For a lot of smaller developers that simply isn't an option, especially for something they are giving away for free or for a very low price. Also, EAS is proprietary, whereas IMAP is open. Outlook.com should simply add IMAP support.
- mattl 14y agoCheck out Davmail -- http://davmail.sourceforge.net/ http://davmail.sourceforge.net/ -- turns Exchange into standards.
- gislifb 14y agoSecond that, although I never got anything but the mail to work (no contacts, cal, tasks) and since evolution is a piece of crap (at least the version that comes with FC 18) I had to use thunderbird which doesn't have cal. But it's still worth it!
