Push Email or WTF email!
Whenever i used to read about Push Email technology in the news, websites or magazines, i always thought of it as a over-hyped useless technology. I realised that i was wrong, when i bought Sony Ericsson M600i in January’07. The first time i took look at its specs and found it also had something called Push Email. I was not aware what it actually meant. So i had to find more about it from the web.
So i dug up some information. Here is the summary:
- Email is basically pushed from server to server till the destination server is reached. Only from our mail server to our PC it is pulled i.e. your software has to check and retrieve new mails.
- You dont need to be an corporate user to have this instant mail notification thing. Anyone can need it.
- You dont have to pay a bomb to get this facility.
- It is fun to have it cos you will always get in touch.
My next post will contain details on how to use free push email using your smart phone supporting the push ईमेल.
