Actually, when Outlook is set up as a MAPI client to an Exchange server, the client is updated whenever mail for it hits the Exchange store. So in this sense, mail is indeed "pushed" to the client without the client having to explicitly poll for it on a schedule or in response to the user doing a "send/receive".
With pop and imap, the client does indeed have to poll for new mail. Not so with Exchange & MAPI clients. Brad > Correct. And you can setup Outlook Express and other clients to > poll as well.
