Email Fetch & Push

[Hankl]

I have PUSH ON for my mail and several different email accounts with Yahoo, GMail and Optonline(cable).
Yet when I look at the Advanced function I see a couple accounts set as Push and several set as Fetch.
Can someone please let me know why this happens and can I change the Fetch to Push?

Thanks

I believe you can only Push one email account. The other accounts have to be fetched. I have an Exchange account set up as well which provides near real time pushing services.

I need to consolidate some of my accounts but now I have -
2 - yahoo push
1 - gmail push

1 - gmail - fetch
1 - Live - fetch
1 - optonline - fetch

That's not right - I can push both my Exchange and MobileMe.

Now as for the OP, bear in mind, not all email services support push. The ones you have as fetch are probably IMAP or POP3 services that don't push.

Yep, sure enough. Just went into settings/mail and looked at my Exchange account. Push is there.

I used the exchange account for Gmail so I have that as Push. I think that's the best I can do. The OP account is what is. It will have to remain Fetch.
Yahoo allows Push and I can have multiple accounts under Yahoo
Thanks everyone.
