S60 (N95) MS Exchange Client

Hi everyone,

Firstly, apologies if this question has been asked many times before - I'm a newbie and couldn't find anything after I'd searched.

My question is about a Microsoft Exchange client for S60 phones (and in particular the wonderful N95). I've been playing with a few but I can't seem to find one that meets my needs. The ones I've looked at so far are...

Nokia Mail4Exchange (v2.1.0)
This is a great client but it doesn't support sub-folders. I need support for multiple folders below the Inbox due to the nature of my work.

DataViz RoadSync (v3.003)
RoadSync is good and supports sub-folders, although it doesn't give a visual notification when an email arrives. Again, this is a must because if I miss the sound I have to go hunting through my inbox to find where the new mail is.

Emoze (v latest)
Emove is a cracking little app, it doesn't support folders but shows all emails in one inbox on the device (it's almost like it ignores Exchange's rules which is useful on a mobile device). It also pops up a nice alert (similar to a text) when you receive an email. The problem is, I haven't figured a way to control the synchronisation like you can with M4E and RoadSync. I don't want to be permanently connected to the server, I want to be able to configure when and how often I sync - I can't see how to do this in Emoze.

So, in summary I am looking for an Exchange client that will...

- synchronise mail and calendar
- support multiple folders (or flatten the inbox like Emoze)
- support 'push' and manual/scheduled synchronisation with the server
- alert in the same way as a text (i.e. audible tone and message on screen)

I hope I'm not asking too much and there's something out there!

Many thanks,

Chris

PS I'd be interested to hear other people's experiences with Exchange clients just in case I've not given the ones above a fair go!

I have used mailfor exchange and it is pretty good though. Having experience this one vs the others, I would not be eager to go back.

Have you considered flattening the subfolders yourself in Outlook, or using categories in Outlook, instead of subfolders?
