Hello Esther
The question Gordon asked was more for when we're out and about and he is checking his IMAP account using the iPad or iPhone. But yes; it's probably more trouble than it's worth. We're actively looking into the acquisition of some sort of GSM modem if they exist, so that we can connect to the GSM with our MacBooks directly.

It might be possible to do this through the MobileMe web site, but you would have to use a third party browser app, like Atomic Web Browser, and have it identify itself as Safari Desktop, since Safari on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad restricts any logins to MobileMe to setups for mail, contacts, and "Find my iPhone". Then, you'd have to enter for the URL: me.com/mail and log in The web interface is not convenient to navigate. Frankly, if I wanted to mark mail messages, I would do it from Apple Mail on my Mac. Even allowing for the time to find, switch to my MacBook, and start up Mail, it's much faster and simpler to manage and mark messages from there. HTH.
