Microsoft Exchange utilizes Exchange ActiveSync (or EAS), which provides push synchronization of contacts, calendars, tasks, and e-mail between ActiveSync-enabled servers and your mobile devices.  This is the only approved product to connect to UNMC email.

There is no additional charge to faculty, staff and students to utilize ActiveSync.

Droid devices seem to have inconsistent success in using ActiveSync. There are so many makes/models of Droids with different operating system versions, that it difficult to provide a specific list of those that work.

There is a one-time charge of $70 for a Blackberry Enterprise Server license.
