BlackBerry employs a push-mail message transfer mechanism using BIS, BES and/or Desktop Redirector. That's the beauty of using a BlackBerry for mobile e-mail.

I use the BlackBerry for my work account, which is beautiful. I switched from a Treo because the BlackBerry integrates so well with work e-mail through the BES. But my personal account gets hundreds of messages a day, mostly spam, and I don't want to get them all in the same mailbox with all my work messages. I just want to be able to check the account when I want to check it, like Gmail for BlackBerry. Just because this isn't the approach RIM took to e-mail doesn't mean that no one else can write the application. It's the same as a third-party web browser, or RSS reader, or weather forecaster -- the programs goes and downloads something from the Internet when asked.
