PUSH MAIL : PULL MAIL

In the era of email mobility majority people in India use email as mode of communication for both official and personal uses. Under nokia product portfolio many devices have email feature into them but Nokia has designed specialized series for mailing commonly known as E-Series mobiles standing for Enterprise Series Mobiles. These devices have both the feature of PUSH and PULL mail. As according to the requirement a person can choose what mailing system is best suited to him/her.


What is PULL mail: “It’s a system of mailing where the initiation process is triggered by the mobile and connects to the email server at a fixed interval of time and pulls out mails which have arrived in between the interval of time”. Or the way your MS Outlook works.

What is Push mail: ‘’It’s a system of mailing where the initiation process is triggered by the server and pushes mail to mobiles as soon as email hits over the email server”.

Why PULL mail: Many people receive very less number of emails on daily basis and don’t want to be connected online 27*7. Moreover people also don’t want to use network data plan of the service provider as for many people these data plan are costly and they want to use it only in case of urgency. Pull mail solution helps in both the terms as once can choose when to connect and what internet mode to be used (service provider data plan or Wi-Fi).

Why PUSH mail: In today’s fast moving life everyone wants everything instantly. So in terms of emails, push mail is fast in delivering emails to mobile and one is not supposed to wait for mail to get retrieved. Nowadays there is lot of data plans which makes more people to attract towards push mail. Moreover even normal GPRS plan is also capable of doing so.
