Ah, now this’ll be a great feature for all WM6 based devices. The ability of a free Hotmail account to push mail directly to your device is a great feature. Now if they can retro-fit that back into WM5, I think everyone would be happy. After all, WM5 has had the ability to perform this service with Exchange email systems since it shipped.
At least your next WM phone will have the capability!

I agree with Om on this, as spam keeps growing in proportion to emails sent, we need a new way to send email.
A new mechanism to verify the sender, to quickly blacklist and abolish spam and other erroneous messages needs to be created and implemented. The existing email protocols don’t have anything within the messaging sending/receiving structure to validate a message.
Who’s up for the challenge!?!
