network administrator for the availability of these features.
Automatic synchronization through Direct Push
Direct Push technology (push email feature) enables you to receive new email messages on your phone as
soon as they arrive in your Inbox on the Exchange Server. Items such as contacts, calendar and tasks are also
immediately updated onto your phone 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 Wi-Fi or data connection on your phone.
You need to perform a full synchronization between your phone and the Exchange Server before Direct Push
