MobileMe Email Alternative?

    Has anybody come across a decent alternative for MobileMe?

    I am looking for a similar service that will allow me to use my company email rather than having to use the username@me.com email address that they give you.

    I read all the promo info and it sounded like I would be able to use MobileMe as a distribution hub for my normal email. So I signed up for a 60 day free trial only to find that the only email options are using the me.com domain.

    Very glad that I didn't shell out the EUR 80.00 for 12 months

    Gmail should allow you use this, so long as your company email uses Pop3 or IMAP (I think, anyway.)

    It can be done easily enough. So easily in fact that I'm not sure how, it just happened. I set up my Mobileme and work accounts on my MBP at home. When I got my iMac in work a while later, I set up my Mobileme account first, and the work account was automatically included. I only planned on setting up my Mobileme account on my iPhone, but again, my work address was included automatically, so I left it. I did nothing special to achieve this, so it must work very easily. My work email is an imap one, and I use the Mail app in Snow Leopard.
