Bill and Bob,

Could you expand on this? I would eventually like to get my email on my iPhone to resemble the folders and rules I have in Apple's Mail on my Mac. I don't have access to my work Exchange Server, they are afraid of the iPhone and will not grant access.

What are badges? Are the terms that Bob used, "client" and "server" in reference to rules, his personal terms or are they commonly accepted terms and would he define them in more detail?
