ChatterEmail asks the server if it is idle (IDLE IMAP command) and if there's a negative (new content), the content is pushed to the client (ChatterEmail). Better than having the client check the messages and determine itself that nothing has changed. Uses less data (therefore less battery).
Note that your IMAP server must have IDLE support (a few do not).
