class="shortdescription nomobile noexcerpt noprint searchaux" style="display:none">Email system</div> <p><b>Push email</b> is an <a href="/wiki/Email" title="Email">email</a> system that provides an always-on capability, in which when new email arrives at the <a href="/wiki/Mail_delivery_agent" class="mw-redirect" title="Mail delivery agent">mail delivery agent</a> (MDA) (commonly called mail server), it is immediately, actively transferred (<a href="/wiki/Push_technology" title="Push technology">pushed</a>) by the MDA to the <a href="/wiki/Email_client" title="Email client">mail user agent</a> (MUA), also called the email client, so that the end-user can see incoming email immediately. This is in contrast with systems that check for new incoming mail every so often, on a schedule. Email clients include <a href="/wiki/Smartphone" title="Smartphone">smartphones</a> and, less strictly, IMAP personal computer mail applications. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Comparison_with_polling_email">Comparison with polling email</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Push_email&amp;action=edit&amp;section=1" title="Edit section: Comparison with polling email"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Outgoing mail is generally <i>pushed</i> from the sender to the final <a href="/wiki/Mail_delivery_agent" class="mw-redirect" title="Mail delivery agent">mail delivery agent</a> (and possibly via intermediate <a href="/wiki/Mail_server" class="mw-redirect" title="Mail server">mail servers</a>) using <a href="/wiki/SMTP" class="mw-redirect" title="SMTP">Simple Mail Transfer Protocol</a>. If the receiver uses a polling email delivery protocol, the final step from the last mail delivery agent to the client is done using a <a href="/wiki/Polling_(computer_science)" title="Polling (computer science)">poll</a>. <a href="/wiki/Post_Office_Protocol" title="Post Office Protocol">Post Office Protocol</a> (POP3) is an example of a polling email delivery protocol. At login and later at intervals, the <a href="/wiki/Mail_user_agent" class="mw-redirect" title="Mail user agent">mail user agent</a> (client) polls the <a href="/wiki/Mail_delivery_agent" class="mw-redirect" title="Mail delivery agent">mail delivery agent</a> (server) to see if there is new mail, and if so downloads it to a mailbox on the user's computer. Extending the "push" to the last delivery step is what distinguishes push email from polling email systems. </p><p>The reason that polling is often used for the last stage of mail delivery is that, although the server <a href="/wiki/Mail_delivery_agent" class="mw-redirect" title="Mail delivery agent">mail delivery agent</a> would normally be permanently connected to the network, it does not necessarily know how to locate the client <a href="/wiki/Mail_user_agent" class="mw-redirect" title="Mail user agent">mail user agent</a>, which may only be connected occasionally and also change <a href="/wiki/Network_address" title="Network address">network address</a> quite often. For example, a user with a laptop on a <a href="/wiki/Wi-Fi" title="Wi-Fi">Wi-Fi</a> connection may be assigned different addresses from the network <a href="/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol" title="Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol">DHCP</a> server periodically and have no persistent network name. When new mail arrives to the mail server, it does not know what address the client is currently assigned. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/IMAP" class="mw-redirect" title="IMAP">Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP)</a> provides support for polling and notifications. When a client receives a notification from a server, the client may choose to fetch the new data from the server. This makes retrieval of new messages more flexible than a purely push system, because the client can choose whether to download new message data. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Mobile_users">Mobile users</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Push_email&amp;action=edit&amp;section=2" title="Edit section: Mobile users"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Although push email had existed in wired-based systems for many years, one of the first uses of the system with a portable, "always on" wireless device outside <a href="/wiki/Asia" title="Asia">Asia</a> was the <a href="/wiki/BlackBerry" title="BlackBerry">BlackBerry</a> service from <a href="/wiki/Research_In_Motion" class="mw-redirect" title="Research In Motion">Research In Motion</a>.

The handheld becomes a mobile, dynamically updating, copy of the user's mailbox. As a result of the success of BlackBerry, other manufacturers have developed push email systems for other handheld devices, such as <a href="/wiki/Symbian" title="Symbian">Symbian</a>- and Windows Mobile-based mobile phones.
