Specifically, when you configure your iPhone to point to thevillages.net SMTP mail server, only Mail and Notes come across. It does not synch your Contacts or Calendar.

I've tried doing this on phones using both Verizon and AT&T as the ISP.

Thanks.
If their tech support doesn't know their own server settings.. there is no hope... Switch your friends to gmail, and forward all their old emails to their new address.. setup a .net folder for all the old emails, and setup the devices with gmail IMAP..
