Employing technology developed at Microsoft Research, OMM learns about the urgency of your email messages, and prioritizes them for relay to a mobile device. Intelligent decisions are be made about if and when to notify you. Based on your preference settings, the system can decide that a message can wait until you get back to your desk. This way, only time-critical messages are sent to your mobile device. OMM has the ability to learn from you to continue to enhance its behavior. It considers feedback and adapts over time and can continue to enhance the quality of its decisions."</i><br /><br />Outlook Mobile Manager (OMM) sounds like a pretty neat little application. I don't really need any of the reminders or calendar features, but I think everyone could use an intelligent message relay system that only lets email that matters to get to your mobile inbox.

Microsoft had this (or similar) application few years ago. Then they took it off the shelves. Glad that it is back. :-)

I used to use it back when I didn't have a Smartphone. And it was a life saver. Not sure if it is useful with my Smartphone. :? But will be giving it a try on Monday. I think the important mail push is useful because, I do not have push email.
