With a Blackberry every e-mail account you setup will be push. Activesync is the means to which you get your mail from Exchange so it IS Activesync. You can’t get Exchange email on your WinMo device in a Push fashion without Activesync. MS Exchange server is a MAIL SERVER, not like the BES which provides the conduit between Exchange/Blackberry or Domino/Blackberry. The best part is, the connection between Exchange and your WinMo is FREE (besides the cost of an SSL certificate) where the Blackberry needs licesing + cost of BES, etc. :rx3: LOL @ your drunk post excuse for the misinformation… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/cell-phone-crew-get-in-here-i-need-some-advice-this-might-be-a-long-one/51428)._
