Configuring Airmail to be the default email client on your Mac is easy. Go to the Mail app Preferences, General, and select Airmail as the “Default email reader.” How often does Airmail check my email accounts for new mail? By default, Airmail checks the inbox continuously (via push sync) for new messages every minute. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Gmail app. In the top left, tap Menu. Tap Settings. Select your account. Make sure the box next to 'Sync Gmail' is checked. If you still aren't getting notifications, learn how to fix sync errors with the Gmail app.
Take advantage of push email servers in Mail.app | 23 comments | Create New Account

One potential issue with this, especially for non 3G owners, is that using the IDLE command requires that the Mail.app keep an open connection with the server. If I'm not using WiFi on non-3G phones, this means that it will have to keep a constantly open EDGE connection.
When EDGE is connected, you can't receive any incoming phone calls. They will all be forwarded to voice mail since you are 'on the phone'. --- Capt Cosmic
Oops. Misread the post. Was thinking it was talking about setting up iPhone email. Never mind.

When using the idle support in Mail.app many people experience issues with new mail sounds or sounds triggered from scripts not playing or playing much later than expected.
I have the same sound issue. I think I finally solved it by using a folder action.
What you need: Play Sound. Save it in you Applications folder.
Save the script in ~/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts/ and attach it to your ~/Library/Mail/[email protected]/INBOX.imapmbox/Messages/ folder.
Disclaimer: This is my sixth applescript, it just might set your LP1 on fire.
The 'Use IDLE..' check box is disabled for me (it is greyed out). Does this mean my server does not support IDLE?
Either server doesn't or it's not an IMAP account
I did not have to disable the automatic checking for the account to get the idle working. In fact, idle was selected automatically when I set up the IMAP account. (And I switched it immediately I received my first push e-mail, much prefer the check-once-per-hour method.)
Unchecking 'Include when automatically checking for new mail' and checking 'Use IDLE command if the server supports it' seems to have resolved a problem I had with mail not quitting, which apparently was caused by the Mobile Me account checking for mail. Problem discussed here:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7384020� and elsewhere on the Apple discussion forums.
So, from a person who doesn't use IMAP, I believe I'm assuming correctly that this is about the set up of IMAP and not POP accounts in Mail.app?
Yes. IDLE is strictly an IMAP protocol.
There is similar functionality for pop3 users. A finger request is sent to a user whenever mail arrives for that user. Client software listening on port 79 can then tell your email program to check mail. Works very well. I use a client called notifymail, that doesn't seem to be available anymore. But it is possible to write a script to do this.
Am I missing something? This didn't work for me..
I have a MobileMe IMAP account. In Mail preferences IDLE was 'on' by default. I unchecked 'Include when automatically checking for new mail'. I sent myself mail, both from Mail.app and from the command line at 5:30 AM this morning. When I checked again at 6:30 AM there was no new mail. I clicked 'Get Mail' and the two test messages came along with a bunch of other new mail. Is some other step required to enable push (IDLE) on a MobileMe IMAP account? --- Mike Newman Saipan and Narita Layover Pages: http://www.mgnewman.com
I had the same experience (or lack thereof). I followed the instructions to the letter, but this trick worked neither for Gmail nor MobileMe.
Still running 10.4.11, and I can't find any setting for enabling IDLE support in Mail.app. Is this a Leopard only feature?
--- Capt Cosmic ![]()
I'll second the notion that this may be a 10.5 only feature as I can't find it in OS X 10.4.11 and Mail.app v2.1.3. This hint should probably be moved to the Leopard section.

You do not need to turn off the periodic checking for IDLE to work.
It was released on April 13, and its is 4L13.What's New in Mac OS X 10.0.1The improvements included better support for third-party devices, compatibility and overall support. Mac os x software wikipedia. Support for the service was also improved, and for Japanese users, an update to the printer drivers was made available.Users were required to download prior to installing Mac OS X 10.0.1.Sources and References.
Mail App Gmail PushYou do not need to turn off the periodic checking for IDLE to work.But why would you want periodic checking enabled if IDLE is working properly?
If you turned off periodic checking and enabled IDLE, would you still get messages received when your computer was offline? Would your IMAP account be updated to reflect changes made from another computer? I am not sure of the answer to either question.

I set the IDLE-command in Mail app and manual looking for new mail. Push works perfectly in Mail.app. I also noticed events get pushed directly from my iPhone into iCal on my mac. Great!
Does not work reliably for me, neither with Gmail nor with the Exchange server at work. When I first configured the Exchange (with IDLE) account it seemed to work. Then I configured my Gmail account to use IMAP (with IDLE) and found that the only way to retrieve new mail was to check for it, so I went back to POP. Then my Exchange account stopped working with IDLE, so I'm back to automatically checking all accounts every minute.
See my following post for more information on this. I figured out how to make this work.
I figured out how to make my Gmail work with IMAP (IDLE) in Mail.
There seems to be something wrong with the way that Apple Mail auto-configures Gmail accounts when you create a Gmail account in Mail. I couldn't get my Gmail to work with IMAP (IDLE) either, so I completely deleted my Gmail account from Mail and recreated it. BUT the catch is that when I recreated the account, I typed in a completely random email address like [email protected]. This was the trick which bypassed whatever internal mechanisms Mail has for setting up a Gmail account. Once the fake account was setup, I manually modified all the account information with all the appropriate Gmail IMAP settings. And now, guess what?! My IMAP (IDLE) works just fine with my Gmail account in Mail! The Gmail emails are pushed to me instantaneously!
Have just done this myself, and push Gmail now works perfectly within the Mail app.
Note that when asked what type of account this is, I selected IMAP (as opposed to Exchange 2007 IMAP), and it works fine with this. Many thanks!
Push requires a server that is configured to send Push notifications. Gmail does not send Push notifications, except to the gmail app. Your private IMAP server apparently isn't configured to send Push notifications either.
Gmail Push To Apple MailBest Gmail App For Mac
It's not Apple who is 'preventing' anything. Apple's mail will support Push with any server that sends Push notifications. Which, frankly, isn't many. Gmail used to, but they stopped when they released their own gmail app. They still will Push if you have a premium paid enterprise account. Yahoo mail used to also, but they stopped when their mail app was released. MS Exchange and Office 365 will Push, but regular free Microsoft email will not, except to their own mail client (Outlook).
