Other issues to consider when you are evaluating pager software is whether your paging service can strip off the headers of forwarded e-mail messages or send notifications of reminders.

If you are looking for two-way access to mail and other Exchange or Outlook data, see Tools for Mobile Access to Microsoft Exchange Server.
