[gui-talk] Setting up an exchange account

If you have a Gmail or Google account, you can use exchange to sync
your mail, contacts and calendar with that. For steps on how to do
this, check the Google or Gmail help center. I have this setup on my
iPhone, to sync my Gmail contacts and Google calendar, and then to use
iMap for my Gmail mail. Syncing your contacts and calendar through a
computer or mobile device often gives you more control over what is
added and listed, rather than using Gmail contacts on the web. The
Gmail web interface doesn't offer much control over contact
management.
