Push Email?

Is anyone using Yahoo! for email? If so are you having it pushed to your phone? Just trying to figure out what I could use to have my Yahoo! email pushed to my phone.

I've heard of people have yahoo pushed to their TP, I personally have gmail which does not have push natively yet. so what i do is have all my gmail forwarded to a live account i created just for this, and the MSN client built in to WM does push for live or hotmail beautifully. I recieve my emails quicker than they update on the web or in the notifier....

this works very well. and b/c its natively built into the windows live program on the phone its the one i trust the most with my battery.

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...
