Now that I've read about how MobileMe is Brilliantly Designed and run by a crack team of professionals, now I know what happened to Bagdad Bob. I guess I was mistaken when I thought that MobileMe was a poorly executed replacement for a seemingly pointless service in the first place. I clearly made a mistake renewing this dog hoping it would be better after the transition.
AppleIDiskServer is what Apple used and continues to use to serve up iDisk shares via WebDAV at idisk.mac.com. It also serves up web.mac.com and homepage.mac.com, highlighting the fact that WebDAV is really just a bidirectional webserver that can both serve up data and allow updates. HomePage was (and is) a WebObjects application, no doubt running on Mac OS X Server (aka the "unknown" OS).

It appears Apple also uses its own custom software for its MobileMe sync services. The company considers the exact nature of its MobileMe servers to be a proprietary secret, and would not reveal any details on what it actually uses on the backend, even to developers under non-disclosure agreements at WWDC.
Is it just me - or am i too thick to Idisk/synch my iTunes library to MM ? I dont want backup but just a mere copy of each file
It usually stalls after 4GB out of 10.
I bought the service to synch my iTunes (purchased) library into the cloud so that if ever my backup strategy fails I wont have to explain to Apple why I need to reload several thousands of files...

Whatever happened to "it just works"?
That's normal with any email client. It's the syncing which people are having issues with.
I'm not having problems with Mail sync, at least not yet anyway.
