Mahyad picked up a sweet new phone: a Sony Ericsson k800i. Whilst Mahyad marvelled at the beautiful design, 3G opportunities, crisp screen, RSS reader, excellent browser, 3.2 megapixel camera and audio functions, all I wanted to know was if push email (think Blackberry functionality, without having to pay the earth or being locked to a hardware solution) worked properly.
My attempts to get it set up didn't work, but Mahyad sorted it, with everything set up and running perfectly. Within a few seconds of a mail being sent, the phone gave a ping and there it was! Mahyad uses the same hosting as Jim and I, so our tests a few weeks ago have bourne fruit.
Why am I so interested? Well, my new phone isn't that far away, and if everything is working for Mahyad there is an excellent chance I'll be able to get it up and running quickly (although I may needs Jammy Gilani's help!).

To check whether your server has IMAP IDLE, which is how to do push email (as far as I know), use the handy instructions Jim posted.
