What is the difference between “pushing and polling” emails?
Pushing and polling refer to the activities associated with getting emails to the phone. Pushing – Premium providers will send the emails to the phone’s Inbox automatically without the mail@metroSM going to the email providers and checking to see if new emails have arrived. Emails will be sent to the phone almost immediately. Polling – Standard and Other providers will not automatically send emails to the mail@metroSM application. The application has to go to the email provider to check to see if new emails are in the subscriber’s Inbox. Polling is completed every 30 minutes by the mail@metroSM program.
