Thinking laterally, since handsets are NAT'd to the outside world it is impossible[0] for external mail-servers to notify the handset by making an incoming connection. The session has to be active the whole time and initiated by the client. How about, instead of calling it "push-email" we refer to it as near-real-time. At least it's more accurate. I have some ideas as to how this can be achieved without modifying the mail client. I don't want to elaborate until I know for sure which mail client will be the default.
