Unless you want to it to be Pushed. In which case 'yes'.

In which case 'yes'. You sure about that? Because Exchange and Google Mail are on different buttons in the setup screen, and if I tap the Exchange button it tells me I can't set up more than one account (I have one set up already), whereas tapping the Gmail button lets me start setting it up. Presumably the Gmail button sets up push? I don't know as I just use the standard IMAP credentials (I'm presuming push is the only difference between the two?) -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm

I get the impression that the 'standard' GMail setup is either a timed or manual check, not push. I'd love to be wrong though.
