Two-way full email sync
We need the ability for the phone to automatically push changes back to the server. Right now, the only way to do this is to manually click the sync button. After deleting or moving emails, one has to click the sync button (or wait for new email to arrive) for the changes to sync back to the server. This really needs to perform automatically immediately after the action has been performed.

WP8 VPN
Windows Phone needs VPN connectivity. Need I say more? Android has it. iOS has it. ****, even BB has it. If WP is to succeed in this increasingly "on the go" and mobile market, its users have to have VPN connectivity.

Support week numbers in all calendar views. Week numbers are heavily used in several European countries as well as other places.
