LOL polarbear. I don't think you understand how IMAP IDLE works. IMAP IDLE is not a polling-based push system. IDLE simply maintains a connection (no data transfer) and sends a NOOP every 15-30 minutes.

This is why IMAP IDLE is the most (energy) efficient push system when implemented correctly - something Nokia did not do on the N9.

Google is your friend.
