Push Email?

Yeah I've heard of others pushing their Yahoo as well, just wondering how they were doing it... Just trying to conserve battery... Heard that using push email saves the battery a bit. That way it's not going out and checking at a specified time...

This is 100% inaccurate...gmail was one of the first to support push...Yahoo supports POP which is pull email...gmail supports imap idle protocol which is true push, like a blackberry...combined with a program that supports it like flexmail, you can receive and send messages instantly as they hit the server...

Push email, in my experience, at least on the Touch Pro, does NOT save any battery life, and more likely, eats it...I have two accts set for push email on my Touch Pro, and get 12 hours battery life max, with minimal browsing, texting and phone calls...
