Personally I don't think we need to invent a new term for existing
technology. You still call your computer a computer even though it's no
longer based on an 8088 CPU. I think far too many people spend far too
much time making new names and reinventing wheels rather than just
making the current wheel better.

Hmmm well I'm not an expert so whatever you say however from my
understanding it is the server that notifies the handset that there is
email available for it not the handset polling the server.
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.
