prewarning: i'm a complete microsoft exchange newbie, although i have experience in win2003 management / active directory etc.

here's what i'm trying to do.

basically, push my gmail email onto my phone (running windows mobile 5). i don't want pop access, i want actual PUSH.

how i figure this would work:

- forward my email from gmail to my local win2003 machine, which has exchange 2003 running
- exchange in turn pushes the email onto my phone immediately
- i can reply on my phone and it looks like it came from my gmail address, not from my local domain (i.e. my exchange server address).


so far i'm ok with 1 and 2, all is working golden. BUT i can't reply on my phone - it sends the message fine but shows the from address as my exchange server address.

any idea how to fix this? basically would want to set up some sort of mail relay...

any help would be appreciated! would be glad to provide a few free accounts to people who can help!

cheers!

unless these are time sensitive e-mails, just have your phone automatically check gmail every 15 minutes. solves the problem.

was thinking that; it may do the trick for my gmail account. but i'd also like to set up my work email, which requires a secureID key to be put in every time i log in.

granted i could just have a new gmail address where i forward my work email to, but i'd still prefer the blackberry-like push email option.
