Your device gives you instant access to your company e-mail and lets you manage your messages more easily. Direct Push, Fetch Mail, Remote e-mail search, and e-mail flags are just some of the tools you can use to manage your e-mail.

Note Some messaging features depend on the Microsoft Exchange Server version used in your company. Please check with your network administrator for the availability of these features.

Automatic Synchronization Through Direct Push

Direct Push technology (push e-mail feature) enables you to receive new e-mails on your device as soon as they arrive in your Inbox on the Exchange Server. With this feature, items such as contacts, calendar and tasks are also immediately updated onto your device when these items have been changed or new entries have been added on the Exchange Server. To make Direct Push work, you need to have a data connection on your device.

You need to perform a full synchronization between your device and the Exchange Server first before Direct Push can be enabled.
