from what i've rwad. Yes it does support POP3 natively.

Look at this thread Outlook email pushed to Droid?

I believe you can also have your POP accounts forwarded through your Gmail account which will be pushed. I believe you can have up to 5 accounts forwarded to your Gmail account. Someone chime in and let me know if I'm right or wrong.

cga ... you're right. If you have a yahoo account, or in my case an att.net account that runs through yahoo, it will not push. You have to set it at timed intervals to pull it.

SEVEN Press Releases

Thanks for the link, however these solutions are incomplete.

Complete Outlook, Exchange, Business data support would include the following:

Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes.

This appears to only do first 2, which I believe the Droid will do anyway. It's incomplete and it's Androids (Googles) fault.

Can anyone deliver a complete package on a new device?

Thanks,

Will there be push alerts for facebook, twitter, etc?

Guys,

Sorry, I think I'm blaming the wrong people. Google wants to make money, so they want me to have to buys other apps to get the basic feature that I already had out of the box with a 4 year old xv6700.

Its verizons fault. I now have a brand new smart phone that is not as smart as my 4 year old smartphone for business data out of the box.

That is , not smart!

But remember that the XV6700 was running Windows Mobile so Exchange Server stuff was pretty much native inside the OS. Opening Outlook was like opening up another Outlook session that mimics your desktop experience.
