It's because Apple wants you to pay for MobileMe. Not necessarily a "good" reason, but I suspect it's "the" reason.
- tdavis 17y agoI already pay for MobileMe. Which allows me to get emailed pushed to me via my MobileMe email. Which I don't use.
- menloparkbum 17y agoHeh. Well, I dunno what to tell you. You can probably do some sort of auto-forward + reply-to: address kludge to fake it. It sucks, but to be honest I personally don't mind. I've been making apps with the push API and beta testing the AIM client with push and I have a feeling I'm going to be turning push notifications OFF for most services - I'm already getting too many notifications and I'm not using any "real" apps yet, just beta stuff. If I had push email on, my phone's battery would die in about 45 minutes.
- dkokelley 17y agoI don't think it's Apple that is restricting this, since Yahoo! email accounts are pushed to the device just fine. I still don't know what pros their are for Google to not support it though. It seems like bad business.
