Who are people using as their hosted exchange provider?

I know there is alol.net.br which offers free accounts (or asks for a small donation). But how secure is your data?

MS seems to charge $10/month.

Godaddy just started offering hosted exchange services (not sure if it is $6.99 or $9.99 for 'mobile service').

What's the best (and cheapest) in your opinion?

Don't know about best or worst but I am using mail2web at $4.95 per month. Started when they were free and stayed when it went chargeable.

It sounds like they blook Outlook access for the $4.95/month plan, i.e. if you want to use Mobile + Outlook with your exchange account it's $9.95?

I see no point in having exchange if I can't use it with my laptop and my phone.

Godaddy support has now told me twice that the 6.99 plan includes activesync. I guess that would be the cheapest (and respectable) fully-functional exchange provider out there?

I personally use ALOL net on my Hand device and also Desktop. Able to Sync with Desktop is Great thing which actually makes Device/desktop sync no more really necessary!!!
ALOL seams a Large ISP in Brazil. How secure it is?? Difficult to say!! But it seems they are very customer focused and even for free service you get always prompt Service. Some one here in the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=372453) also offering Push mail service for reasonable price!!!

Well if you consider Security then you have to go with large known hosted exchange provider (only because they have reputation to lose) but then you will have to pay 6.95-13$ per month
