Hi all, i have just got my iPhone configured to recieve emails from the same accounts that i recieve emails from on my MacBookPro.
When looking at Settings/Mail Accounts on my iPhone there is an option to Fetch New Data and further option to Push On or Push Off ?
Can someone please explain what Push and Fetch are all about please.

Wowee thanks a lot for that, i certainly asked for it didnt I, OK so i am now clear on that without any shadow of a doubt !.
Now of course i am equally confused about IMAP versus POP, i have POP ok, but to change to IMAP, simply to allow my emails to be kept on the server, i have to Delete my email accounts completely and start again, why isnt anything ever SIMPLE ???

Push will cause mail to receive email whenever it is sent (provided your email provider & account type support push). Fetch means the phone will retreive you email at specified fetch intervals.
fetch and/or push what do they mean ?
