And that's the main benefit -- battery life won't be improved at all unless your current setup has 1minute polling. (the default in Fremantle is 30 minute polling). And even then, it will be improved slightly.

My SSL IMAP connection uses exactly 2850 bytes (sum of downstream/upstream) to connect (including SSL negotiation), check for new mail and disconnect.
