Ok so I am coming over from BB curve and I know that this whole droid experience will take some getting used and I love it so far but I really need to get my emailing under control before I can truly get obsessed with this device...

I am used to using outlook on both my phone and computer and from what I understand they really dont communicate well together on the droids. I tried using a push program called Daves website which is supposed to sync my calendar and contacts but I am actually more concerned about email syncing...

Is there an app that I can use that will sync with my home computer either wirelessly or when I plug it in? I need to be able to separate into folders save certain emails do forwarding etc. and I've tried K9 but I haven't found anything in the settings that enables me to do those things and I still have outlook on my computer... I don’t believe they are compatible. I am currently receiving three different copies of each email until I figure this situation out... Gotta say that's getting old quick.
Here's a review of my questions since this is a bit long...
1. Is there anything comparable as an email client that communicates with the droid as outlook and BB do
2. Does K9 offer folders etc. to sort my emails with
3. Is there a really good way to get the droid to communicate with outlook and sync when I plug it in that I am not aware of???

PLease help I really want to keep this phone and I am willing to deal without outlook if there is something similar…but I can have three different sources all collecting email for the same account and not communicating with each other or my home computer. Aren't these smart phones there's gotta be a way!!!

Thanks for the help in advance
