something that I've been doing in place of the push email is forwarding my emails to gmail to a text message to phone, I can even respond to it through phone but they'll get my phone text address instead of email address or I can open gmail in browser and send it there

Anyways this lets me know when I get the email as soon as it goes to inbox, faster than push email (it's real time and not every set amount of time) and phone doesn't have to do a thing to wait for email
