E-mail didn't yet get a proper open and standard protocol for duplex e-mail notifications (push). The only close approximation is IMAP IDLE, which is close in the idea to XMPP BOSH. It's not really a proper solution, just a workaround but it works good enough until better protocols will be designed. Jolla should probably support it.

It's weird though, that in this day and age such thing isn't ready still.
