It synchronizes all Calendar data, the selected date-range of email data, plus all contacts. It installs on the Outlook 2003/2007 desktop/laptop and runs in the background, synchronizing the Outlook local cache (OST file) with Google/Gmail. It even lets the Outlook user send email from within Outlook through Gmail, even if the Exchange server is down. G1 users see all their corporate Exchange email, contacts, and calendar information right on the smartphone, synched in real-time.

The other is that we don't open up POP or IMAP on our Exchange server. My Sysadmin approved a smartphone policy I wrote which says, basically, IT supports any Smartphone with Activesync: Winmo, iPhone, Palm Treo. So I promised her that if I broke my own policy, I wouldn't make her change the Exchange server to support me. I'm holding up to that. :) I did overlook the IMAP/POP recommendation, though, so I'm glad you made it, and your tip about the need to escape the backslash is required reading. Thanks!

But why set up the Gmail forwarding instead of using the G1 to check Exchange email via IMAP? I believe that's a pretty standard configuration. In case anyone's curious, I did a similar experiment here: http://vodori.com/wordpress/?p=5 The difference is I'm on Windows, and decided to try importing my Outlook contacts. I feel your pain.
