I have an iPhone 4S - my question is about PUSH mail ...
Does iPhone support PUSH only with some email providers - if yes, where can i find a list with these email providers ?!
The PUSH feature is provided by iPhone, or by the providers of email hosting ... to be more precise, iPhone can support PUSH as long as the email provider have this feature built-in ?!
Thank you.
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1
Push is a feature of IMAP and Exchange email accounts, but not POP email accounts. Popular IMAP accounts included Apple's iCloud email (@me.com email addresses) and Google's Gmail, both of which are free.
Please, i want a full answer. I thank you for your support randers4 but its not really what i was hoping for ...
Is it or is it not an iPhone feature ?! Or is it a feature of the email providers / email hosting services ?!
For example if i choose to use as email hosting provider an unknown company, a company unknown as in "not on iPhone's for sure email providers with PUSH built-in" will i have PUSH for it ?! Who must provide this feature ?! Apple ?! And if so, it does for all the email providers, or only for a few best-known providers ?! And again, if so, where can i find a list !?
Do all IMAP accounts, no matter who will give you the hosting, support PUSH ?!
I thought I was being clear. It is a feature of the type of email account, not the phone. Get an IMAP account and it will support push.
Push feature is determined by the host. If the email can Push, then the iPhone will allow you to use the feature
@ ThatguyfromThatplace - thank you, in 2 lines you made my day.
So PUSH is available only for IMAP, and never for POP ?!
Can you advise me on some email hosting providers that have IMAP & POP and of course PUSH, except for Google and so on ?!
Not that many places support both, i'm personally only aware of Google's Gmail for doing this, sorry
Hotmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo (but sometimes Push is not working i do not recomended) and Icloud.com and Gmail does not push emails anymore...
iPhone 4S - Push: for what email providers ?!
