Hold on here. Surly Windows Phone 7 supports IMAP out of the box in some way, and if not then Microsoft deserves some blame here.

Where did I blame Google? Windows Phone supports IMAP.

I'm not saying you're blaming anyone. If WP7 supports IMAP and carddav then the suffering due to no exchange should be minimal.

IMAP is a disgusting protocol.

Which also happens to be a widely adapted implementation of a push email protocol, and not supporting it today essentially renders a mail client as useless.

That's the problem, it's like UPnP, widely used, horrible implementation.

Everyone should switch to Microsoft's EAS.

If you say so but that's still no excuse not to support IMAP because some folks providers demand it.

Who isn't supporting it exactly? MS support it on their Windows Phone platform, Google support it. I'm I missing something?

that's what I was saying here, I'm not sure exactly what it is WP7 doesn't support, I don't have one.

And I replied back telling you it does. The platform supports POP3 and IMAP and also Microsoft's Exchange and whatever else they included.

Apparently you can do IMAP but wont have push emails after these changes, and can'y sync calendars and such.
