I've been doing some research into this app, now that I have set it up on my 8525 to access my corporate email.

From what I've read, the service works something like a timed request for updates. The desktop software sends a notification to the xpressmail server that an update (new mail) is available, the server then sends a special SMS message to the PDA/phone/whatever that signals it to request a "sync" to the desktop via the xpressmail server.

Or something to that effect.

If you were hoping to have something blackberry-like, this isn't it.

What you'll experience PDA-side is another node in the mail tree of the Messaging app, that says Xpress Mail, same place as the pop accts and Outlook E-Mail.

and every now and again as it does it's scheduled checks, will return the new message count to the Inbox today plugin

Thanks for the heads up.

however it does work, as I get notifications within 2-3 minutes of the message arrival.

I used it before I got hooked up on exchange push mail with a treo 600 and my 8125 and it worked pretty well. There is a push option and I would usually get notified with 5 min of a new email comming in. It is a great option if you don't have push mail available. However there are some free push mail alternatives now.
