Push Accounts
MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, and Yahoo! Mail are known as “push” accounts. When
new information is available, such as the arrival of an email message, the information
is automatically delivered (pushed) to iPod touch. (In contrast, “fetch” services require
your email software to periodically check with your service provider to see if new
messages have arrived, and then request them to be delivered.) MobileMe and
Exchange also use push to sync your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks (MobileMe
only) if you have those items selected in the account settings.

Synced information is transferred automatically over your wireless connection; you
don’t need to connect iPod touch to your computer to sync. iPod touch can receive
pushed data over a Wi-Fi connection only when iPod touch is awake (the screen is on,
or iPod touch is connected to your computer or a power adapter).

Installing Configuration Profiles

with the information systems at your company, school, or organization. For example, a
configuration profile might set up your iPod touch to access the Microsoft Exchange
servers at work, enabling iPod touch to access your Exchange email, calendars, and
contacts.
