Third party push e-mail

www.emoze.com supports gmail and push to the iphone... i was thinking of setting it up to get rid of sms

alternatively, i'd like to see an app that does all this using apple's cloud... it would be great if it could interface with your contacts and automatically put in the @messaging.sprintpcs.com or @txt.att.net or whatever the carrier may be...then no need for sms

 

I suspect if this is accurate, Google may be planning on allowing us to select 'push' for Gmail. I am only speculating though. Of course, Yahoo already provide push email.

 

that doesn't really say or imply anything about gmail pushing

 

The thing I most like with webbased gmail is "conversations" is there anny plans for a native email application that uses "conversations"?

 

It shows Gmail in a list where there are options to 'fetch' or 'push'. Admittedly, it shows Gmail currently set to 'fetch', but it is reasonable to speculate that Google may want to provide the option to choose 'push' now that there appears to be a standard option for it...

 

Unfortunately in those settings now, GMail only has the options of Fetch and Manual. That screenshot does not give any indications at all if GMail plans on implementing push IMAP service. I'm pretty sure the iPhone is able to detect whether Push IMAP is implemented on the email server in the settings for each account, so all Google would have to do is implement it and the iPhone would detect it.
