I know a lot of people love free but I'm a big fain of paying for my email accounts and data hosting. I believe in that "you get what you pay for" saying.
Mobile Me however is one of the things I'm finding isn't worth it right now because it doesn't support bringing one's own domain to it. I mean, I love iPhone sync and stuff, but not being able to bring my own domain to it is really crap, as is the speed of iDisk when you're not in the US.
And one more thing that makes Mobile Me effing annoying. If you want to import mail from Gmail, via POP (let's say you're lazy and don't want to download local then upload via IMAP) you can't.
Because a company so "security conscious" as Apple only allows cleartext POP3 on port 110. No port 995, no SSL, and the support staff tells you they are unaware of how to migrate email from Gmail and that they support all standard POP hosts.
I'm sorry, but when I read that in the support chat interface, I was this close to start cursing but I realized it wasn't the guy's fault that company policy in this regard is crap.
POP doesn't work well when you have multiple limited-bandwidth clients accessing the same mailbox. I'm surprised they took the effort to make it work at all.
