PushEffect is a new program that will provide push-email to your Windows Mobile device from most POP3/Imap/ISP email accounts.
Your email must be set to auto forward a copy of all new messages to your phone via SMS. A special character string in the SMS lets PushEffect know this is notification of a new email, and automatically triggers the send/ receive function of your phone. While this seems a pretty creative way of achieving "push" email, I have been using Emoze myself (http://www.emoze.com), and it is working beautifully. It seems to me the main benefit of PushEffect would be not having to leave your PC on as no software actually needs to be running on your desktop for it to work.
Unlike Emoze, this program will set you back $29.95, but a free 7 day trial is available.
