Pardon my naivety but what exactly is meant by "corporate email"?

I have a Pearl now and HATE push email to be completely honest.
Obviously as a small business we do not have the server component and are Mac only anyway (as God intended).

 

[Peace]

I'm guessing Exchange servers.

I never got the big deal about push e-mail. I have been using e-mail for almost 14 years and I have never had to have an e-mail pushed to me. Checking it has always worked just fine.

Push email is just more realtime than polling. You don't have to wait 15-30 minutes to get your mail, you're notified immidiately when it arrives.

Also, "corporate support" for Exchange users also means that we have our calenders and contacts synced, which is a BIG deal if you have several meetings a day.
