Thank you for this info. I'm thinking the problem is webmail isn't accessible from outside the network. I have to VPN on to access the HTTPS webmail page.
Well, the Pocket PC does support various VPN technologies -- but I don't know how well that would work with Direct Push. I'm sorry, but this is something that requires research on the part of the IT staff.

As dlinker implied, it's more of a "not wanting to" than "knowing how to". Opening up services requires careful research and deployment, and can get considerably tricky once security issues get involved.

Blackberry makes an OUTward connection to the RIM servers, hence no one-time password needed.
Of course, there's a security implication to this, too -- that you trust RIM's servers... but your point is certainly valid. We'll see how this scales up as Microsoft deploys it further.

I've noticed that I rarely bother with an ActiveSync on my PC anymore. Everything (except notes) just stays synced automatically.
