Astrasync has its own email interface, so it will not mix with built-in messaging client. The emails are completely separate. Also, while it sync your calendars, when setting a new appointment I haven’t seen an option to send the request from the account tied to Astrasync. Only options so far are my BIS accounts.

I’d suggest posting on Astrasync forums or sending them an email.

If you have 3 e-mails setup on your phone, how do you setup the software to monitor only the one you want without inferring with the other 2. I downloaded the demo and the reason I stopped using astrasync was because it didn’t know which email I was using when sending a message or changes in the calendar and caused a lot of confusion between all my email accounts. Any insight in this problem or has the new version fixed that problem or did I miss something in the setup.

Cost per year decreases to $30/year after the 1st year.

I completely agree… Only way to get the pricing out was to send out emails and finally get someone to answer back.

$110/user/yr for those who are interested…

I am guessing you are referring to NotifySync, as AstraSync pricing and roadmap is right on the site.

Why is your pricing model, support forum and roadmap such a secret? Instead of flaming other companies that are providing a solution and being open with everyone about what they offer with a public roadmap, pricing, and forum support, how about focus on doing the same?

I don’t like how you can’t use the native BB programs. Other alternatives like Bberrysync.com and ThinkPost.net are better because at least they are native

Any remote device wipe?
How about visibility to the full inbox hierarchy?
Will I find this on the RIM product catalog?
Does it sync sent items?
Are deleted items saved?
Any contact sync?
Any task sync?
Any email notification popups?
Any new mail indicator?

No? hmmmm http://www.notifysync.com

I’ve been a user since it first started working with Exchange 2003. Granted the program has some areas for improvement but they are pretty good about getting updates out. The current beta is a big leap forward from the earlier versions and I’m excited to see future versions.

3.0.8 is released today…Just downloading it.

I’d highly recommend filing a report on the Astrasync 3.0 beta forums (http://forum.astrasync.com/Default.aspx?g=topics&f=18). Upcoming 3.0.8 has some good fixes and enhancements as well.

Not that big of a fan. Major gripes are:
1. You have to launch it when the device reboots. It does not automatically begin syncing.
2. If it ever encounters an error, it does not resume syncing until you open the application and acknowledge the error. There is no notification that an error has even occurred.
3. Yearly subscription fees suck.

I love this program! Have been using it since it launched, and it keeps getting better. I have to use it, no BIS/BES coverage here…
