-	~~0000000000000000000~~	+	==Push Email==
		+
		+	The N900 comes with two options for people looking for a push type e-mail service like Blackberry or Microsoft over the air ActiveSync.
		+
		+	===Mail for Exchange (MfE)===
		+
		+	{{main\|Mail for Exchange}}
		+	This is an implementation of the Microsoft ActiveSync protocol that connects an over the air Exchange server to the N900 e-mail client and Calendar and Contacts.
		+
		+	Google mail also supports ActiveSync these days. Though it is not supported, some users have reported success.
		+
		+	Nokia N900 works perfectly with ActiveSync on the free Outlook.com accounts (for those who feel free to touch Microsoft services.) One needs to leave the domain field empty, use s.outlook.com as the server, and everything else should work.
		+
		+	====MfE and Digital Certificates====
		+
		+	MfE depends on the system to handle Digital Certificates. If you have come off a Symbian device then you would expect MfE to prompt you to save a certificate when it does a first sync. On the N900 you will have to save the certificate yourself onto the N900 and open it up in the file browser to install it. You can check the Certificate is installed under settings.
		+
		+	See this post on how its done http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=422526&postcount=98
		+
		+	also here http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=37087
		+
		+	====Limitations of MfE====
		+
		+	MfE on the N900 is only designed to work with Exchange 2003 (since [[Maemo 5/PR1.1\|PR1.1]]) and 2007 servers, although Exchange 2010 should also work. Servers will also need to have support for Non Provisioned Devices Enabled in order to have synchronization work.
		+
		+	The following features are not supported by the [[Open development/Maemo roadmap/Fremantle\|Maemo 5]] implementation of Mail for Exchange:
		+	* Categories support
		+	* Corporate Directory Lookup (can be imported in PR 1.1)
		+	* Email search on Server or Client
		+	* Marking messages for follow up
		+	* Only one active MfE account is supported
		+
		+	MfE is included on your N900, no need to install, but here is the home page for MfE for other Nokia devices. Note that MfE on N900 is a separate implementation from this:
		+
		+	[http://businesssoftware.nokia.com/mail_for_exchange_downloads.php Mail for Exchange download page]
		+
		+	====Known Problems of MfE====
		+
		+	With the first retail release of the N900 there are a number of known issues.
		+	Many users have worked around these issues. You can follow MfE discussions on this thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=35136
		+
		+	* Self Signed Certificates give "Error:Either Exchange server requires secure connection or account is disabled". You can work around this by creating symlinks see the bug report here https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6467#c17
		+	*Sync fails due to older 12.1 protocol version see here http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=426857&postcount=368
		+
		+	===Nokia Messaging===
		+
		+	If you already have a favorite webmail service, but would like your email "pushed" to you then this is what this option was designed for. Nokia messaging can connect up to 10 email accounts at one time, and you can choose which account you send from. Nokia also provide their own webmail service (Ovi Mail) that can be linked to this. Nokia messaging provides for easy setup as it already knows the server settings for a large number of the email services out there. Nokia Messaging only handles email and not Contacts and Calendar or Tasks.
		+
		+	Nokia Messaging http://email.nokia.com/account/home.action
		+
		+	===IMAP Idle for Push Email===
		+
		+	Many modern mail servers support the IMAP Idle feature, which allows your email client to monitor an inbox. Sadly Modest on the N900 has this feature disabled for power reasons.
		+
		+	It is possible to get push email from an IMAP server using a service like [http://www.nuevasync.com/ Nuevasync] or [http://z-push.sourceforge.net/soswp/ Z-Push] that proxies between IMAP with IDLE and the Exchange Active Sync protocol (which Modest does support). Also many commercial mail servers implement Active Sync, and can therefore provide push email service directly.

In order to view these sites, as though using a desktop, it is necessary to alter the User Agent String (UA). A User Agent String, User Agent or UA is the name (i.e. a string) that a browser calls itself when connecting to a website. One such tool to change MicroB's UA is User Agent Tool [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86714: Discussion] and [http://maemo.org/packages/view/useragenttool/: Package] . Altering the User Agent does not alter the browser, it merely changes the way the browser reports itself to websites; expect sites to load more slowly when using an alternate UA.
