Upset that your iPhone with all its IMAP goodness doesn’t support PUSH email? Well, thanks to some awesome hackery with a simple application you can actually trigger PUSH email support (even with SSL) on your iPhone to make it more Blackberry like.

The program is called “iMapIdle” and it simulates “Push Email” with your IMAP server. Still very beta but so far everything the developer promised works.

The program listens in the background waiting for new IMAP mail even if you are in sleep/standby mode and notifies you via a popup and/or sound. Then the program triggers “Mail” to check for email. Although this is NOT ideal, it is perfect to fill the void until Apple can actually code mail to understand IDLE.

    Awesomeness. Great find Dan.

    Hopefully this will push Apple to formulate their own solution (no pun intended). I really wonder what MWSF’08 will bring about concerning the iPhone.
