  1. The native email client on the device maintains a permanent connection with the email server over an encrypted and authenticated channel through the 
    BlackBerry Infrastructure
    BlackBerry Affinity Manager
    BlackBerry Dispatcher
    , and 
    BlackBerry MDS Connection Service
     and detects changes in the folders configured for synchronization on the mail server.
  2. When there are new or changed items for the device, such as a new email message or updated calendar entry, the mail server sends the updates to the device through the 
    BlackBerry MDS Connection Service
    BlackBerry Dispatcher
    BlackBerry Affinity Manager
    , and 
    BlackBerry Infrastructure
     to the email or organizer app on the device using the 
    Exchange ActiveSync
     protocol.
