No, on your phone IMAP wont give you a true Exchange push (though they do have something in the works which looks close and very promising)... but you can set it to check like every 5 min. that's not that bad.

In outlook however, IMAP does update instantly.


Have you looked into something like 1&1?
I seem to recall them having pretty reasonable exchange accounts. I used them for a while YEARS ago, before we put in our own exchange server.

Let me grab a link for you...........
