Re: Why not use push email?

Personally, this is what I'd NOT like to see in email:

The need to run a client-side app at all times, (ex. Seven) which runs in the background and makes sure it's active to receive the transmission from Seven-server regarding new email. (The technology of it is not clear to me tho, does it maintain a persistent connection to server thereby utilizing periodic data and thereby affecting battery?)

What I'd like:

An Activesync like application that literally takes 5KB or so in RAM and just stays up to "listen for signals", which when it receives one, it will fire up ActiveSync and do a pull. It'd be great if I could sync my GMail, MSN, and corp pop accounts.

I already run Dashwire, and cannot afford to run Seven in the background too! Or else my battery goes down down down.
