As title.
Where is the push email support for non gmail account?
There was never support for IMAP push and still isn't. Seems Google isn't particularly interested in changing that.

That's what gmail is for.

please understand what we are talking about.
Set your other account to forward to a gmail account. You can even set the Gmail account to reply from the "professional" account. Or set up a Google Apps account with your business domain.

If it's exchange you're looking for, touchdown supports push. I've been using it for years it works well.
What type of account is this?

i love Touchdown exchange for my work email. Probably the best part is the pin required by my company's security isnt applied to the whole device, I only have to enter the PIN to open the email application. Id hate to have to enter PIN just to send a text message.
I'm disappointed that Gmail doesn't have push using the email app. There's push support on the iPhone, so why not on a native Google device?
The AOSP email app has support for exchange.

Thank you for clarifying. This whole thread just freaked me out. IMAP? Who cares! But, Exchange? Yes please!

I just got my Galaxy Nexus and was hoping that this would be something that ICS would resolve. My single biggest gripe with Android is lack of native PUSH email notifications for non-Gmail email accounts.
I shouldn't have to forward emails to my gmail account for this to work. That is not a solution, but merely a half-crack workaround.
I don't have the ability to use Google apps with my work email account.
I don't have an Exchange account, just an IMAP account. So it sounds like my only options are to get one of the shotty email clients in the app market or move to iPhone that supports this natively. I love android, this is just one of those things that's a priority for me. :-/
Kaiten Mail
Check out Kaiten Mail. Based off K9 email, but I think it works better, and works great on tablets too.

You can't just add "push", the email service needs to support it.
"Push" email is just a descriptor, it's not an actual implementation of anything specific.

The iPhone doesn't support PUSH (aka IMAP IDLE) for IMAP email servers. I'm positive it doesn't do it for the native email (my wife has an iPhone), can't say if there's an email client app that supports, but I want to say no since iOS will kill any background running app like that.
Get K9 mail for Android, I used it a lot a couple years ago via IMAP (before switching to Gmail full time), worked great for instant notifications.

the email must support push email (IMAP idle) but the client must support that too.
my own server supports IMAP idle, I use the push service on every phone but it does not work on my galaxy nexus.
I must admit that android is only a soap bubble, you can't say that android is an advanced OS when it lacks the basic feature of feature phones.
I could've sworn I had a stock Email app on my Droid Charge at one point that was push. It was awesome. There has to be a stock or AOSP Email app apk out there somewhere that we can use.
Galaxy Sll email app has it...maybe someone can port it.

I have a customer that is having issues with her yahoo email. First, the problem she had was that everytime a new email came in. It would show some form of spam message in the notification bar but when you clicked on it it would go to the right email. I recommended remvoing the email account and re adding it to the phone. Now she's not having that problem but she's not getting any notifications and old emails that she had read are now showing up unread after refreshing the email account. any help will be greatly appreciated.
Is she using the default email app or the Y! Mail app from Yahoo? I haven't had the issues you described when using either one, but maybe she can try a different app than the one she's using now.
She's using the phone email app. I tried the Yahoo mail app but it wouldn't show old emails because it's a business's email.

Hmmm... not sure - I don't know why being a business email would have any issue with showing old emails on Yahoo. Only other thought I had was to try a different email client like K-9 or Mail Droid and see if you have better luck with that.
Been using the Yahoo email client and recently decided to add my Yahoo details into the stock Note 3 email app.
Issue I have is that now the stock email app is downloading all my junk emails into my inbox.
Anyway to resolve this please as I'd much prefer to use the Samsung email client as opposed to the yahoo email app. Thanks.
Edit. Deleted 24 junk emails but they have re appeared again. Looks like the emails are not deleting on the yahoo server.

I read that Microsoft is ending Exchange Activesync. I was able to use this to sync my main gmail account with the stock app for note 2.
Strangely enough, it's still working this year 2014, though I'm not sure after July 31, the scheduled date when EAS is finally removed.
The push settings really helped save my battery and I was wondering if there is a way to get push email with gmail?
Thank you

I really didn't understand your question but are you trying to ask if gmail "push" service would be available via stock "email" app and not the default gmail app that comes preloaded?
Aw sorry. I'm using the samsung stock email app with Microsoft Exchange activesync for my gmail.
The stock Gmail app doesn't have push.

umm as far as i know from personal experience the default gmail app does have "push" as long as "sync" is enabled if sync is disabled gmail won't act as push and you have to manually check for emails under gmail. Well i am still not clear as to what are you trying to ask ,cause you are talking about microsoft active sync and gmail together,they are two different email clients that behave differently and it doesn't matter if you use samsung stock email app or stock google/ aosp/aokp email app for receiving push notifications cause it depends on the email client if they offer "push" under "stock email" app .Like for eg under stock samsung/google/aosp/aokp email app if you use your yahoo id it doesn't have option for "push" but it can check for emails at certain intervals but if you use hotmail or gmail id it does offer "push" ,so my question to you is which email are you using under stock email app ?Is it GMAIL or HOTMAIL account?
Hi All,
I recently purchased a New Tmo LG G3. I've installed the latest Yahoo Mail Client from the Play Store. I recently noticed that mail notifications appears to not work as expected. Can someone help me verify if this issue is isolated to me of if this is a handset/app issue?
Issue: When user is sent mail to their Yahoo e-mail account, notification for new mail is not received.
Actual: Mail is received when performing manual sync. If user opens the Yahoo mail client, the mail will appear in the inbox.
Expected: Mail notification is received and user is made aware they have new mail awaiting to be read.
Repro Steps:
e-mail Yahoo account using another mail client
stay idle on the home screen and wait for notification
Additional notes: I verified that sync settings on Android is set to ON, I've also verified that sending mail from Gmail to Gmail, Comcast to GMail and Gmail to Comcast works as expected. I've also checked for reviews on the Play Store and noticed that their are 2-3 other people rated this app with 1 start stating it doesn't work.
If I could get a member or members on here test the Yahoo client it would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I can keep my sanity if know this isn't isolated to me.
Thanks in advance!
Rebooting the phone appears to have resolved the issue.
