One question specifically to do with MS Exchange - I heard / read
something about emails only appearing automatically on the iPhone
without being polled (if that's the right word) if they are in the top
level inbox. ie. if any emails are put into subfolders of the inbox by
server side rules then you have to poll individual folders to get
those messages? Is this correct?

Does Exchange email work the same way on a Blackberry?

Re IMAP email, if my Mac is on, then incoming messages get put into
subfolders by Mail rules, so where will these messages appear on the
iPhone (or Blackberry)? Do both mail clients have folders?

Sorry if these are somewhat obvious questions!

Thanks

Answering my own question but I've found this thread on the Apple
support discussions -
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1355852&tstart=0
where it's clearly a big problem for many (and it would be a problem
for me too).

Presumably this all works fine on a Blackberry?!

In reply:

I played with a Blackberry for a client who has an exchange server. In its
simple form it only synchronises with MS Outlook using the data held on the
PC (calendar, contacts, etc.). The emails are actually held on the exchange
server and Outlook views them using something like IMAP - it does also cache
them locally.

The only way to get it to see the emails is to use the BES (Blackberry
Enterprise Server). This process runs on another server other than the one
running Exchange, and it pretends to be the users PC (for all the users).
Effectively it monitors the user's Exchnge mailbox and transmits its
contents to the Blackberry.

The pricing of BES has altered since I looked at it, and it may be more
economic for small businesses. At the time it was out of the question for
my client where just one user required a Blackberry.
