I hate not being able to check my enterprise mail from my smart phone. Do you feel the same way?

I was given a great idea from someone, and sent it to a friend who is the Product Director for Enterprise Email which I really liked. A notification option, that if an email came into our EEmail account, a notification could be sent to a civilian email address. The person would then have to login to their EEmail account to read the email. I'm envisioning it like USAA and other banks do. It would save people a lot of time of having to login to EEmail account and then find nothing there. :) I haven't heard anything from it yet through. Probably on the Good Idea Fairy stack. :)

The problem is CAC requirement. Most part time soldiers have limited access during business hours, or have considered the process not worth the hassle, and are not as likely to use Enterprise

I understand the no CAC at work dilemma, but this idea would at least let you know you have something waiting for you to look at.

While I was the Chief, Network Operations for my Army unit, I had a BlackBerry. I was receiving between 100-200 emails per day. They may have been regular email questions, requests, outages, trouble tickets, cc's on others emails. I used the BlackBerry to whiddle down my emails. So, when I got to my regular Outlook, I only had maybe 25-50 that I had to action. If I was lucky I could reply from the BlackBerry to answer the persons question, so, they did not have to wait for me to return to my computer.

That is very true warrant I did not not think of the volume of emails some people recieve.

I dont need unlimited anything but data because im addicted to youtube videos of Cats flushing toilets...but i choose the least of every package because im
1: around all the time
2: im blunt and to the point
3: if it has anything to do with me specifically, then i want a courtesy call/text...

But i am curious of why you ask about the voicemail sir. I am the type to keep it as but that is because if someone does not know me, then I dont want them to know my name/voice/etc when they call...(it's somewhat complicated).

I definitely use a ton of minutes every month talking to people helping them with computer problems. Some of my tech calls can run between 20-120 minutes. I could get by with 500 or less texts per month as well. I do use my share of data per month. Although I don't want hardly any cat videos. :) I asked about the voicemail because AT & T holders seem to leave the VM either not set up, or just a number. I feel those kind of people who think, if it is important the other person can call back. I look at it the other way. My last job was so busy, I had no personal time at all, so, if I had to call back again, it was taking my time that I could support someone else.

wow 120 minute calls...my wife doesn't even get that!

The time frame varies depending on network connections, how slow their computer may be, sometimes nothing I have used several other times just don't cooperate with this person's computer.

Being a traditional member of the air national guard, I fell fortunate to be able to check my email from off base. COMSEc and dismissive attitudes kept my mail email strictly and on base medium for most of my career. That meant a lot of emails to go through first thing Saturday morning and likely a missed appointment or deadline. Going beyond checking it from home I feel is just gravy compared to the rest of my experience. As I am tethered to my civilian job, I have no desire to be leased to my military job too.
