How To: Push Email for Windows Mobile
Windows Live Mail (Hotmail) has the ability to push email to your Windows Phone. That’s fantastic news for every WinMo user with Blackberry envy! Of course, there are many corporate users with an Exchange server than can push email but for the rest of us this is great.
I actually had my phone set up to simulate getting push email by having Gmail SMS me on new messages. Having my phone check Gmail every 10mins would drain the battery WAY too quickly. If the SMS looked important enough I would do a send/receive on my email to get the message. Not great but at least it notified me right away.
With Windows Live push email service you will truly get push email but there are a few caveats that I wanted to point out to help those that are trying to work with this service.
