Hello all,
Our CEO raised a question (we think after reading the article "French Legislation Suggests Employees Deserve The Right To Disconnect" regarding users working (Reading e-mails and responding to them) after normal office hours and specially during the weekend, he asked how can we as the IT restrict the users so that they will not receive e-mail's via "PUSH" e-mail to their Mobile Devices (if they want to manually receive e-mails via "Fetch" or manual sync they should still be able to do so but the server should not "Push" the e-mails to them during non working hours).
as far as i can remember from exchange 2003 at least while using the ActiveSync we would have been able to choose if the device would "Fetch" / Manually sync e-mails and even configure Off Peek hours during which the device will not sync automatically (only manually), of course that this was done to conserve the Internet Data consumption and in turn conserve the charges to our mobile bill at the end of the month.
as of a couple of IOS versions ago (don't remember when it changed) the off peek times are no longer available as an option and you can only configure "PUSH" / "FETCH" / "Manual" sync but even when you configure it to "FETCH" the device has only 15m / 30m / Hourly / Manually options available, the Off Peek is no longer available.
don't know if the same is true with Android / Windows Mobile devices.
in any case the question is: is there a way to confine the activesync users ot work in "FETCH" / "PUSH" mode only during working hours and still be able to sync manually during non working hours?
Thank you.
