Intermedia First to Support iPhone Business Email
New York, NY– June 28, 2007 — Intermedia, the global leader in business email services, has announced that it will support Apple iPhone business email, when the highly anticipated mobile device is released on Friday. If and when Microsoft ActiveSync support becomes available on the device, Intermedia, the world leader in hosted Exchange, will sell one-mailbox Exchange accounts with ActiveSync included. This will allow iPhone users to get direct push, always-synced email on their new devices.
Intermedia’s “iPhone plan” will include one mailbox for just $10.95 per month, plus ActiveSync access for $4.95 per month ($15.90 in total), with a one-time setup fee to get started. Users will get 500 MB of disk space per mailbox and access to the extensive features of Exchange 2007, such as calendars, contacts and the rich OWA 2007 Web mail, in addition to direct push email.
“We are excited by the launch of the iPhone,” said Rurik Bradbury, VP marketing for Intermedia. “Combined with Intermedia email, it will give users a complete experience of multimedia, telephone and Internet as well as full direct push email once ActiveSync support is enabled.”

[…] I heard this from CNN news just now – “more than 500, 000 iPhones have been sold since the launch on last Friday, June 29, 2007”. However, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync support in iPhone is not yet confirmed, though it’s likely going to happen anytime now. In the mean time, many hosting providers are jumping in to these rumors and started making “iPhone Plans” and ready to provide the wireless email service whenever Microsoft extends license through ActiveSync or IMAP in iPhone. Hosting Providers are likely to set the following pricing model - One Mailbox + ActiveSync/IMAP access with a one time setup fee. According to Mossberg from Wall Street Journal “It can also handle corporate email using Microsoft’s Exchange system, if your IT department cooperates by enabling a setting on the server.” […]

We’ve been using Intermedia for both web hosting and shared exchange for the past year, with no problems. Whatever quesions or configuration issues we’ve had, have been resolved quickly. We highly recommend them, and since many of our guys are getting iPhones, we’re excited that they will be supporting that.
