I had actually already seen that webpage, and I'm currently leaning towards opera mail. I just wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations for any client that might be easier to sync the contacts with his ipad.
Opera may be a good option.
Thunderbird does appear to have the option to export, and skybest.com does appear to have the option to import to the webmail. But if I get them into the webmail, how do I go from there to sync them onto the ipad?
Not 100% sure you can, but check to see if a Contacts option is available in mail setting. Sounds like this service is similar to Windstream down in my neck of the woods, which doesn't support this. However, if it ism turn it on.
Can you tell me more about using google for contacts, but not email? We already use google for our calendar, so I'm thinking it might be easiest to head in that direction. My main question with that is how will he access the contacts from his email client?

Once synced, the contacts will show up in teh Contacts App and be accessible for mail the same if if they were on the device (actually, technically speaking they will be).
I'm pretty sure skybest.com is pop. But like I said, I've got the email part working. My boss is aware that once he downloads email onto his desktop client they won't be available on his ipad. He really just wants access to the emails when he's out of the office. And he'd really like to be able to send emails using the contact list.
I find the idea of using a POP based account for business purposes on multiple devices like that a little scary. but to each his own I suppose.
