Could you clarify a bit more here? mfe is about mail, calendar and contacts. mfe is integrated into the platform fully - it uses maemo mail client for mail handling, maemo calendar for calendar sync and maemo address book for contacts sync. I was always sure that this the best way to go - utilize platform components rather than invent our owm wheel.

mfe is visible as mail account inside maemo mail client. And it looks in the ui like a native part of the mail client.

what are the limitations on this feature (could it be a secondary application such as what Symbian devices had at one point)?
We always prefer to integrate the mfe into the system rather than go with separate applications.

- +1 on the testing with Exchange 2003 (though that might really be something way out of your hands, I deal with similar day to day)?
We knew that it is incompatible with 2003, it is not about "forgetting to test". Obviously, the communication to the users was not done in the best way and a lot of people were disappointed as they expected maemo mfe to work with 2003 from the very beginning (sales package).

- does M4E also pull the status of the user from the AS domains and make this information available from the contact screen?
No.

Thanks for stepping into the forum to address this.
Thank you for your interest!
