Karl and Angela Rees

This is the most exciting geek news I've heard in a while, and the sad thing is that it took me more than a month to find out about it.  Guess that's what happens when you get a kid and a real job.

I've been looking for a way to keep all of my mail in sync at home, on my phone, and at work for a long time now, and reluctantly had to settle with having duplicate copies of mail at each place, almost all of it very unorganized.  Now, if I read an email on my phone, it gets marked as read at both home and at work.  If I move it to a folder called "Family" in Outlook at home, it appears in the same folder when I check my email at Work or on my phone.

A good question, of course, is why couldn't I achieve the same results by using Gmail over the web all the time?  The answer is that I don't want to use Gmail over the web all the time.  It just doesn't seem right to me to login to a web page to check my email.  I only check it on the web when I have no other way to access it.

Anyway, for those of you using the Rees Family email I set up, yes IMAP works for that as well.
