What exactly is Push E-mail? Push E-mail is E-mail that comes right to your mail box as soon as it ends up on the server. Blackberries became popular because of their Push E-mail feature, and now Windows Mobile Devices are growing in popularity because a recent service pack offers Push E-mail functionality as well. However, in order to take true advantage of the push e-mail feature you need to have an e-mail account on a Microsoft Exchange server. Microsoft Exchange servers are very costly to maintain, so generally only larger sized companies have them. But what if you’re not part of a large company that will give you an Exchange e-mail account to use on your Windows Mobile Phone? There are a few companies, such as 4Smartphone.net that offer personal exchange email accounts for a fee. Recently, Mail2Web began offering a Free Microsoft Exchange e-mail account which includes mobile access to your mail. But if you want true Mobile Push E-mail you’ll need a Blackberry or a Windows Mobile 5.0 device with the latest service pack update. But what if you don’t have either of these devices?
We’ve finally discovered a service that offers Push E-mail for many other popular mobile phones. For a reasonable price of $49.95, Always-On Mail software is set to bring Push E-mail to average folk. Sixty-Phones has a review of the service, and it sounds very enticing and worth checking out if you’ve been looking for a way to get Push E-mail on your phone.
