Hi -

I currently have a Treo 650 with Sprint which is able to Sync with two
Exchange Servers. One server is setup with Activesync (Using Exchange
2003 Sp2 Active sync) and the other uses Sprint Biz Connection.

This is a feature I have grown to love! However, I am looking into
purchasing the new t-mobile Dash phone.

Does anyone know if t-mobile has a similar feature or if there is a
third party software that can be purchased to do the same thing?

Thanks

Others, particularly dash / t-mobile users, will be better able to let you
know if there are specific dash/tmobile tricks to getting this done, but out
of the box Windows Mobile does not support the synchronization of two
Exchange servers via activesync. We are always evaluating features and this
is one that has been discussed but we do not yet support it because a very
small percentage of users would use it and it would add some consider
complexity to the software. In particular the issues the revolve around
managing two sets of contacts, tasks, and in particular two calendars can be
quite complex.

All that being said, if all you need from one of the two servers is email,
then there is a chance you can do what you need using IMAP. Windows Mobile
supports an exchange server plus 4 to 7 (I forget the exact number of hand)
non-exchange email accounts. Using IMAP is contingent on whoever is
controlling your exchange server. I suggest you check with that party and
see if currently provide or could provide an IMAP connection for email.
Exchange servers do support IMAP but many organizations don't enable it for
simplicity and security. If your organization does support IMAP though, and
you only need email from that server then you are set!

Hopefully my explanation was clear, but if anything was confusing let me
know and I'll clarify!

Good luck,
