Connecting the iPhone to Exchange with Synchronica
We've already mentioned a coupleways for iPhone users to get access to Exchange mail servers (which the iPhone does not support natively). Now comes word of another possible solution from the UK firm Synchronica. The Synchronica Mobile Gateway apparently acts as a go-between, connecting to the iPhone via standard secure IMAP and SMTP, while communicating with the Exchange server via "secure Outlook Web Access." This allows iPhone users to access their Exchange email without IT managers having to provide IMAP support or open their firewalls. Basically if secure web access is available, Synchronica will provide over-the-air email to the iPhone without any further holes in the firewall.
Unfortunately this does not come cheap, with a 25 user license running € 2,122 (~$2925). I suspect you'd have an easier time convincing your IT people to give you IMAP access. On the other hand, this may be just the ticket for the security conscious with deep pockets.
