Unfortunately, there's no real easy answer for your question yet. In terms of the user-experience, Professional Exchange users should see improvements as of mid-February. This is when we hope to provide Outlook 2007, which is of course dependant on delivery from Microsoft. However, for new and upgraded Exchange 2007 accounts, there are a number of dependencies that still need to be released, decided upon and tested before we can even set a firm date. For starters, although Exchange 2007 has already been released, the hosted multi-tenant version still hasn't been released. We're expecting more development and information from Microsoft in the coming weeks and months, and are planning more blog posts on this exact topic in the near future, so we can keep you updated with our projected Exchange 2007 Roadmap. Hope this helps! Hi Filip,

The URL would be like: <a href="http://exchange.mail2web.com/exchange/your-name@mail2web.com" rel="nofollow">http://exchange.mail2web.com/exchange/your-name@mail2web.com</a> However, I noticed that the article you referenced is a little out of date depending on what version of Mac OS X you're using. iSync is no longer used to sync data across computers, so you may have to use the .Mac pane from your System Preferences to set up the Synchronization.  So in some cases, a .Mac account is required for this to work. Thanks for your comment! Hi Richard,

Yes, upgrades are included and automatic as the next release of a particular software becomes available. Exchange 2003 customers will automatically be upgraded to Exchange 2007 and get an upgrade copy of Outlook 2007 with no associated cost. Same with Windows Sharepoint Services, where any customers running on the current version will be entitled to an automatic upgrade as the new version becomes available. I just assumed with the SaaS model (Software as a Service) that this was obvious. Or at least the concept that software is licensed on-demand and includes an upgrade path as long as you are a subscriber. But I shouldn't make any assumptions. Thanks for the comment.
