- +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)?
- does M4E also pull the status of the user from the AS domains and make this information available from the contact screen?

I personally need to get my hands on a device to ask some more questions, but I'm sure a few folks with it are coming and will ask those.

Thanks for stepping into the forum to address this.
M4E is built into the e-mail client, just the setup is not. In fact that's part of the problem. The standard e-mail does not offer search or copy and paste. Since Exchange synced messages display in that e-mail client it is a problem. So the fix will involve the e-mail client team to fix the client itself and the MFE team to implement more reasonable sync periods (2 months, 3 month and 6 months) and also implement server search. Also they could work together to build the M4E setup into the mail application.
