Push vs fetch for email

[Xrayeyes1502]

What's preferred? But why? What's the difference?

Thx

Push - constantly checking for new emails - instant
Fetch - you determine how often it checks - 15 mins / 30 mins / 1 hr / manual - not instant

Push takes more battery life / data

pretty much but depends how many e-mails you get each day.

I'm on the new 5 and had email set to push, I wouldn't get email until hours after, the moment I set it to fetch, three email went through that were over an hour late. Any thoughts?

There is an issue with Push and Exchange on the iPhone 5. Big thread on apple support about it.
