Are there any alternative mail services that provide push notifications?
I've tried switching over to the Gmail app for a week and found it to be quite buggy. Badge counts would not be updated properly, emails would sometimes not load when you went into the detail view, etc. If it weren't for the clunkyness I wouldn't mind using it.
- randomdata 13y agoAny mail service provider that uses Exchange will work. They do exist, but I do not have any specific recommendations. In practice, I do not find push mail to be all that important. Its real benefit, at least theoretically, is in optimization of battery usage by not having to constantly poll for messages, but I do not find it makes much difference on iOS and will perhaps become even less important on iOS 7 as background apps will be more apt to be firing up the radio anyway.

- eknkc 13y agoI liked Mailbox but for some reason, I think it drains my battery, much more than the Gmail app from Google.. I know it does not make sense that it's at background, not working and using the same push notification service as Gmail app. Is there any logical explanation? Or is it just psychological?
