| |  BIS customers now get instant IMAP (! or ?)
Quote: |
A quiet BlackBerry Internet Service upgrade has been rolled out that according to many is resulting in much quicker e-mail delivery over IMAP. Traditionally, only those on BlackBerry Enterprise Server would get their e-mail pushed to their handset instantly, and BIS users had to wait 10-15 minutes for delivery. Now anyone getting their BIS e-mail via servers that support IMAP IDLE will receive messages in real-time as the standard was designed to provide. It’s great to see the upgrade, especially for BIS users who have had less-than-stellar delivery times, but you have to wonder why it took so long for IMAP IDLE to be supported.

Sorry JHill, but Gmail can be accessed via POP or IMAP. I don't have my Gmail set up on my BB so I really can't test.

IMAP can be instantaneous if IMAP IDLE is supported by the server.
You got it -all- wrong.

Gmail is imap or pop. I get my gmail instantly. Whenever I place a bid or win something on ebay, I get the confirmation on my gmail instantly.

POP isn't instantaneous. IMAP IDLE is as close as you get. Gmail is instantaneous because Google and RIM have a special connection established that I think is probably neither POP or IMAP and delivers instantly.
