I have set up my gmail account with IMAP enabled. I can manually
check for new email and if I delete a mail item on my iPhone that
change will be reflected on my account. This makes me think I have
IMAP set up correctly.
Next I send an email to my gmail account from my office account and
wait. No notification. After waiting a few minutes, if I launch the
mail application on the iPhone and select my gmail account, I can see
the mail client accessing the 3G network, then I receive a new mail
notification.
My iPhone setting have “Fetch New Data” set to Push and Fetch set to
15 minutes.
I have tried this test waiting for the polling cycle to kick in, and
that works. So I my question is:
- Do gmail IMAP send notification “instantly” (or nearly so)?
- If so, what might I try to get this working?
