Will iPhone OS 4.0 fully support SLS?

Dear All,

I just read the news about iPhone OS 4.0. I read something like: "Apple has added the ability to connect the iPhone with more than one Exchange Server account and works together with Exchange Server 2010".

Does anybody already know, if OS 4.0 is also fully compatible with SLS? Will Push Mail finally work?

If we still cannot use our SLS with the iPhone in the summer we should claim back our money. Or Apple publish an update for SLS which emulate Exchange Server 2010 functionalities!

Best regards,

Christoph

After getting rid of Exchange server and implementing a Snow Leopard Server we thought we had made a giant step forward... but after 3 months we were extremely disappointed with the lack of supporting pushmail, ical, address book server. Unbelievable.

For address book there is a superb nearly free of charge alternative, with the same name. But for the rest I think it just will not happen.

Apple wants us to use (read $buy$) mobile me for push.
Nowhere Apple mentions something about push for the iPhone with Snow Leopard Server.

I would really recommend Kerio Mail Server as all-in-one replacement, installed on a normal OSX machine.

What kind of limitation do you mean? Push mail on the iPhone Mail working well since 3nd version iPhoneOS, but not with case when Mail server is SLS.
Are you sure about having instant pushed mail to your iPhone that exactly was sending from SLS mail server. I mean may be you are wrong and that was not from your SLS mail account but from yours any really push supported e-mail acount like Gmail, MobileMe or Exchange?

There are currently with iPhone OS 3, three missing features most people would list with regards to working with SLS.

1. Issuing iCal invites on the iPhone
2. Using CardDAV (aka. AddressBook Server)
3. Proper working push support

While it was not specifically talked about during either the WWDC keynote, or the previous iPhone OS 4 announcement (now of course called iOS4), there was a slide shown during the original iPhone OS 4 accouncement which showed that it was going to include the ability to invite people to meetings via iCal (CalDAV) accounts, and that CardDAV was also going be supported. I do not remember Push being shown but that does not mean it will not be fixed.

Heres the slide in question…
