- nailer 17y agoWhat protocol do they use on the msgpush account? Push IMAP? Something else the iPhone supports?
- nudded 17y agono they kinda fake exchange (I don't know the technical details behind it) ,since push IMAP is not supported on the iPhone.
- Skeuomorph 17y agoYes, "something else" the iPhone supports in OS 3.0, which is "push notifications". These is a background notification service any iPhone app can use that can show a text message on the screen and update a counter (aka "badge") on the icon of an app that isn't running. Push notification in iPhone OS 3.x is not to be confused with Exchange or ActiveSync so-called Push email.
