| 1159686 | 2010-12-08 00:01:00 | I don't get this problem. Why is an exchange server needed because they are using Office Mail. iphone and Outlook are both using POP3 and many people use both of these with them set to leave mail on the server and they work ok. Office mail is just Telecom's system to access domain email is it not and can be setup for POP3 as in this case. |

| 1159689 | 2010-12-09 06:49:00 | As far as I'm aware the fix is to use IMAP instead of POP3. I've passed that up the chain, with a recommendation to change the hosting to allow direct configuration of the email accounts. discussions.apple.com |

Strange it was working before though. |

Doesn't bother me because I run Exchange Server 2010 at home and at work they run the 2007 version and iPhone hooks to both great. Get home and work mail. Had to turn off push though due to huge amount of e-mail work generates. |

| 1159692 | 2010-12-14 10:16:00 | Yeah, they will need an exchange server..We have a BES for the Blackberrys, however the iphone use push tech for contact with exchange, you just need to setup an external address for the SMTP protocol. Push is an ugly word when you're talking about active sync as there is really no such thing. (Although the iphone calls it a push) its really just polling for mail all the time so uses tonnes of data and tonnes of battery. I have mine polling the server every hour. For push mail/instant email retrieval you really can not beat blackberry. and does office mail support imap? I actually thought it supported full active sync/exchange mail but maybe thats another telecom product. While an exchange server would be the ideal answer its also not exactly a cheap one. |

The whole point of ActiveSync is that it holds the connection open and pushes mail to your phone as soon as it arrives, and as a result my [exchange account] email shows up on my phone within a second or so of appearing in Outlook... Yes, push mail will use more battery than polling will - this is generally caused by the need to maintain a constant connection to the server, rather than being able to forget about it for a few minutes and go completely to sleep. |
