I assume most ISP's offer email included with their service. The disadvantage of those is that when you are away from your ISP say at work or Internet cafe you won't be able to SEND emails using things like OUTLOOK but will have to rely usually on hideous web based slow and ad-ridden applications. RECEIVE is usually always accessible though.

For the record, if you have the Outlook app on a smartphone as I do with my Android device, you can receive as well as send emails from the device. I do it all the time, and I have 4 email accounts attached to Outlook, including an exchange account.

But yes, if you have to rely on someone else's Wi-Fi service that can be problematic. I have Hot Spot service on my phone so I can connect my laptop to it to use it's mobile services.

Anyway, the OP is wanting to sync his contacts and colanders across different devices. That's a different animal than what you're talking about. And something not easily available.

Thanks, all, but my original question was answered earlier in this thread. I moved on to a follow up question in a separate thread dealing with the mechanics for migrating to an exchange account and recommendations for exchange account hosts: migrating email accounts

Any responses to that thread would be much appreciated.
