Microsoft Exchange

[Crushdepth]

I have Outlook on my work computer, home computer and a laptop. I would love to be able to automatically share my calendar/tasks/contacts between all three computers. Are there any reasonable Exchange hosting providers in Thailand? Is there any free/open source alternative available that will allow syncing between multiple machines?

Just tried using a free service called Scheduleworld. You sign up for an account and install an Outlook plugin called Funambol, which allows you to sync contacts, tasks, notes and calendar by pressing a button it adds to your Outlook toolbar.

First impressions are that it works very well. Only downside is that the Funambol plugin killed the PDF plugin in Outlook 2007 - they do not appear compatible. So I disabled the PDF plugin, which I never use, and now everything is fine.

May you try Mail2web.com, best known for its email retrieval application will now offer a free Exchange email account based on the mail2web.com domain. This account includes a personal calendar, contacts, tasks, journal, notes, use of ActiveSync, as well as native Blackberry support. Users will also benefit from an email collection service that allows them to automatically gather email from other accounts as it arrives. mail2web LIVE also includes automatic anti-SPAM and anti-VIRUS features. 

Those who require device synchronization can take advantage of Microsoft's ActiveSync for free, which is currently supported by Internet-enabled Pocket PC or Smartphone devices or can use RIM's Blackberry device, which automatically syncs emails and other updates between the mail2web LIVE account and the hand-held device as the information changes on either side. 

The email aggregation service, included free with mail2web LIVE, allows users to easily list an unlimited number of external email accounts and have the system automatically gather all email sent to those accounts and redirect them to their mail2web.com email account. 

This release complements a suite of free consumer products including a free email retrieval application, a free and unlimited media blogging service, a free Jabber-based chat service that allows users to chat with MSN, AOL, YAHOO and ICQ users through one account, a free Usenet reader and an online games section.

Cheers.
