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 your computer or to iPhone. (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 sync your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks (MobileMe only) in the same way. For example, if you add a contact to the address book on your computer, the new contact is automatically pushed to iPhone as well as to any other computer or device configured with the service. Synced information is transferred automatically over your wireless connection; you don't need to connect iPhone to your computer to sync. If you don't have a cellular connection, iPhone can receive pushed data over a Wi-Fi connection when iPhone is awake (the screen is on, or iPhone is connected to your computer or a power adapter). Installing Configuration Profiles If you're in an enterprise environment, you may be able to set up accounts and other items on iPhone by installing a configuration profile. Configuration profiles provide a way for system administrators to quickly set up your iPhone to work with the information systems at your company, school, or organization. For example, a configuration profile might set up your iPhone to access the Microsoft Exchange servers at work, enabling iPhone to access your Exchange email, calendars, and contacts. Configuration profiles can configure multiple settings on iPhone all at once. For example, a configuration profile can set up your Microsoft Exchange account, VPN account, and certificates for secure access to your company's network and information. A configuration profile may turn on the Passcode Lock, requiring you to create and enter a passcode for using iPhone. Your system administrator may distribute configuration profiles by email or by putting them on a secure webpage. Chapter 1 Getting Started 13
