Push Email Without Exchange? Sure!
Posted by Jon Westfall in "SOFTWARE" @ 04:00 AM
"A clever piece of software allows Pocket PC Phone Edition devices to receive notifications of new e-mails via SMS and then pull them off of an e-mail server. PushMail was written to allow users to be able to receive e-mails over the air, even without a more sophisticated infrastructure provided by a Microsoft Exchange Server. The software relies on the user mailbox's ability to send or forward a message to a SMS gateway when a new e-mail arrives."
For those of you who do not have the enjoyable experience (or infinite pain at times) of using an exchange server for your mail, here is a nice piece of freeware that will trigger your device to Activesync when it receives SMS messages indicating new mail. The setup is pretty straightforward, although you'll probably want a plan that includes free incoming SMS messages or an unlimited bucket.
