That is why I asked what you were syncing to, because if it is Exchange, you certainly can sync remotely over the internet with WM5 and WM5 Smartphone and you can get Push mail.

This emphasized text is the specific misapprehension I was addressing. Network synchronization/Push is not possible with WM5 devices unless Exchange is involved. Network Sync was, however, possible with earlier versions of ActiveSync (3.8) and WM2K3, without Exchange. Local synchronization for WM5 devices is the only option when Exchange is not available.
