imap idle is often promoted as push mail
but tec side it isnt "exactly" the same, in users eyes the result looks
nearly equal

yes every service which let stay you online, robs power from battery
but you can sync only manuall etc ( for sure then push makes no sense
anymore )

however its a human related question, if i need mails always and
everywhere and in "real time"

in my eyes , if its really urgent people should phone together *g
