C600 Messaging & Security Feature Pack

[Guest wanderers]

Does anyone know when or if the Messaging and Security Feature pack for Mobile 5 will be available?

This enables the push email facility from Exchange Server 2003 SP2, so yo get emails as soon as they arrive rather than having to set up intermittent sync's.

Thanks

imate & qtek are expected to release this feb/mar, but my eperiance of orange and rom updates... erm slow.. so who knows

can anyone awnser a simple question for me?

how does the push email work?? is network support for it required?? how does the mail server notify the device that there is new mail??

AFAIK it's not really Push email - your device polls the server every N seconds/minutes/...

It shouldn't need any particular network support - just a comms channel (eg: GPRS)

Orange's AKU2 (or is it AUK2?) update is penciled in for April, so expect June :)

Surely its more that that?? i can already set the device to poll every minute, thats just standard pop or imap :-(

I figured that somehow the server would contact the phone to say 'you have mail' then it would be downloaded!

This is how it works:

*

The device issues an HTTP request to Exchange, which asks Exchange to report any changes that occur in the mailbox of the requesting user within a specified time limit. The URL of this HTTP request is the same as that of other AirSync commands ("/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync") with some differing query string parameters. The body of the HTTP request allows the client to specify those folders that Exchange should monitor for changes. Typically, these will be the Inbox, Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks folders.

*

Upon receiving this request, Exchange will monitor the specified folders until either the time limit expires or a change (such as the arrival of a piece of email) occurs in one of those folders, whichever comes first. Exchange will then issue a response to this request that notes in which folders the changes occurred. Of course, this will be empty if the time limit elapsed before any changes occurred.

*

Upon receiving an empty response, the device simply re-issues the request. This loop of issuing a request for change notifications, receiving an empty response, and re-issuing the request for change notifications is called "the heartbeat."

*

Upon receiving a non-empty response, the device issues a synchronization request against each folder in the response. When those complete, it re-issues the request for change notifications.

That's the clearest explanation I've heard so far!

Presumably the sync is still done via ActiveSync, with the requests/responses simply replacing the SMS message from AUTD?

Yes, it uses Http connection rather than SMS

From my contacts at Cingular and MSFT I heard that MSFP is getting delayed until 2nd half of the year... Kind of a bummer, but their product was just not ready to compete with Good and RIM... Theres a nice write up comparing MSFP and RIM on Microsofts website...
