Thumbs up dotMac becoming MobileMe

Now, I know a lot of people seem to have issues with dotMac, but I have always thought it was pretty decent and worth it. Now, it's becoming MobileMe. Now, the name itself is pretty dumb, but it really adds features that are great for iPhone users. Push email, push calendar, push contacts. Very sweet. It's also about time that the calendar is is better integrated. I think these changes definitely make the package that much more enticing.

I hope that it will be possible to use a privately owned domain name (as is the case now) and to extend this to email addresses.

Nope, no private email message domain names on the www.me.com (the site formally known as .Mac.com). Only the email domains as @me.com & .Mac.com. However I am not sure about the use of email alias to achieve your goal.

That would be nice but I am hoping that they incorporate whatever they are using into OS X server so a company can use OS X for email and get the same functionality. Don't tell me they have Exchange servers running at Apple for this.. They must be using some custom implementation or something.

I think they just licensed Exchange (I think Microsoft starting selling the technology one the EU stuff starting happening) support into the iPhone & Snow Leopard.

They did for the push email with Exchange Active Sync but I'm not sure what they're doing with the MobileMe but now actually there is some confidential stuff that I think might have answered my question.

Satcomer I followed your links and am not sure they relate to what I mentionned in my thread. Maybe I was not clear...

What I would like is to have the .MAC (or whatever account) accept and manage my emails as name@<mydomain>.com in place of <name>@mac.com. If I set up the .MAC web site to reflect my domain name, why should I have an email that is not in line with the domain name?
