"Mail for Exchange" available for N95?!?

With the new version of Mail 4 Exchange application, Nokia has optimized opportunities for companies with Microsoft Exchange Servers to leverage the value of Mail for Exchange using ActiveSync while preserving the Nokia user experience.

Anyway, the most important is the addition of the support for Nseries phones family, previously before it was reserved for the Eseries family only and therefore I am so happy to say that mail4exchange appears in the Nokia N95 download catalog.

To be honest I don’t need it, don’t care about, and didn’t tried to get it, I am more than satisfied with Profimail, but I know that there are lots of “business” users with some of the numerous “N” devices in the pocket and they would like to try and use this application on their Nseries devices instead of the less or more expensive 3rd party solutions.

Mail for Exchange from Nokia uses the Microsoft ActiveSync technology to enable synchronization of Microsoft Inbox mail folder, calendar and contacts between Microsoft Exchange servers and mobile devices.

Available for Nokia mobile devices, this email solution utilizes the wireless Microsoft ActiveSync protocol available in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or later. Mail for Exchange, a client application integrated to the native email, provides an end-to-end solution for enterprises deploying Microsoft back-end technologies.
