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 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
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 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 Conguration Proles
If you’re in an enterprise environment, you may be able to set up accounts and
other items on iPhone by installing a conguration prole. Conguration proles
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
conguration prole might set up your iPhone to access the Microsoft Exchange
servers at work, enabling iPhone to access your Exchange email, calendars, and
contacts.
Conguration proles can congure multiple settings on iPhone all at once. For
example, a conguration prole can set up your Microsoft Exchange account, VPN
account, and certicates for secure access to your company’s network and information.
A conguration prole may turn on the Passcode Lock, requiring you to create and
enter a passcode for using iPhone.
Your system administrator may distribute conguration proles by email or by putting
them on a secure webpage. A system administrator may also install a conguration
prole directly on iPhone for you.
Install a conguration prole:
1 Using iPhone, open the email message or download the conguration prole from the
website provided by your system administrator.
2 When the conguration prole opens, tap Install.
3 Enter passwords and other information as requested.
Important: You may be asked to verify that the conguration prole is trusted. If in
doubt, consult your system administrator before installing a conguration prole.
