iPhone push Gmail…
Sunday, April 12th, 2009 | Author: admin
Quick way to get Push over gmail to the iPhone is:
Create a free yahoo account and foward your email over to it… You can then set gmail email schedule to “Manual” and yahoo to push (which it already done by default).
You’ll hear the notice/vibration once you get email, you can also respond from Yahoo just remember to switch to your Gmail account when responding.
Its annoying… I know…. but its a free option until Gmail activates Push…
Peace!

So after around 10 days of using Yahoo push mail, do you have any comments on it? about reliability ?
It works great, its reliable and fast so far. Its a pain that I have to do it this way until Gmail gets their push service ready. But its pretty solid
I tried it long time ago and it was totally unreliable, some messages were delayed up to two hours and some were just even not pushed.
I switched to mobileme trial and then mail2web live, both works great and the push is instant.
May be I will try turning on Yahoo Mail again to see if it has any improvement.
Thanks for your information!
Just tried again, and the mail was not pushed to my iPhone even for 20 minutes.
I think I will just give Yahoo up and stay with mail2web.
I emailed SB two minutes after this comment, and we had an email “conversation” it seems that his problem might be because of his location (China).
Here’s the transcript:

I got this while writting my last response…. Check your push settings again.
Peace!
Are you using an old yahoo account? Make a new one to try

haha, actually I did try to do a search for this issue, and the result is that many people did face the same problem as me, they are having delayed push, missing message in push.
I investigated a lot of time in it to check, to test, but really have no luck getting it to work reliably.
I am thinking of whether it is related to location, and different regional server may have different push performance. I am in Hong Kong, China. I think the push service will be better in the US or Europe, but I am not really sure about it.
I am satisfied with mail2web, except that I cannot use Google Sync while having mail2web push mail on. However I need mail2web because Yahoo mail is not OK for me.
