Damned Apple, why can’t they support IMAP IDLE like civilised platforms? Why make an exception for ActiveSync or (cough, cough) iCloud? Lock-in, I bet …
When I asked Jobs (or the person behind his email address) whether it was political or technical, he said it was technical, specifically for battery power reasons. There is some truth in this, but only insofar as IMAP not providing a way to identify the NAT timeouts, the real solution to which is IPv6. Be aware that both Apple Push and Exchange ActiveSync use cellular for lower power consumption, even with Wi-Fi available, unless you explicitly disabled it. The carrier settings specify your carrier’s NAT timeout, and you will use that connection to long-poll for notifications. Anyway, technobabble off. :) -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
