At that point, I’ll need some sort of email solution that supports two Macs, web access, and a Blackberry. Alex has written about this problem a lot, and I look forward to seeing his luck with Single-User Zimbra Hosting, should he decide to go that way [...] [...] My Mac Pro is supposed to arrive next week, but I won’t be switching my e-mail usage over to the Mac until I (eventually) get a Macbook Pro, which won’t happen until Merom updates.

After I got the new modem I had a week of it shutting down every night around 9 PM. The techs finally got things fixed, but I don't think you'd be able to convince me to self-host again at all - let alone over my DSL connection.

Like you, I've had no problems.] Have you given some more thought to a home-brewed, home-hosted solution? Yes, you lose the things that a datacenter gets you [clean power, nice bandwidth, fixing things becomes their problem], but you do gain total control over the thing. I only ask because I've been thinking about this myself, watching the FM issues from afar. [That, and I admit that I'm intrigued by <a href="http://switch.richard5.net/isp-in-a-box-v2/">ISP in a Box</a>, as I expect to replace my mini with a higher horsepower Mac within the next 6-12 months.] I was wondering when all the folks who are having issues with FM would start showing up here, Alex. :|
