Gmail - IMAP vs. POP and forwarding -
04-04-2008, 06:21 PM
I currently have an 8703 and forward my Gmail account to my verzion.blackberry.net account. I do this so my Gmail is "pushed" to my phone instantly instead of the typical POP email whereas my account is polled. However, I am unfamiliar with the IMAP protocol. Gmail has adopted this and states that it creates a two-way communication between two programs reading the same mail; ie: reading/sending mail from both a laptop and a blackberry device. My questions is this, does IMAP provide true "push" email or is it just like POP where it pulls?
