Re: Push Email?

What i meant by gmail not having push natively was that you cant just set up outlook for gmail with imap and have gmail push email to your phone. You have to have another program start the process. And those other programs do use the idle command. IMAP doesnt mean push, push is just a feature of IMAP that can be used when setup correctly.

EDIT: Push email does conserve battery life when compared to Outlook pulling email off the server "As Items Arrive." So what he said was correct.
