We were all very patient while they rolled out two-factor authentication. It took much longer than we all expected, but now it's clear why — they were launching that with an entirely new set of servers. And along with that, they reportedly implemented an improved development process for new features and functionality. If this is effective, it should translate into quicker roll-outs of new features and enhancements.
I build and maintain rather complex systems, so I know how overwhelming it can be to move a large and complex system forward while thousands of people are using it every minute of every day. There's just no margin for error, and I've observed Runbox being extremely cautious with the roll-out of their new systems. I appreciate that greatly, so they have my patience. I have a long list of fixes and improvements that I'd like to see, and Push for IMAP is definitely something that would be good to have. |

Runbox already supports "push" email in the form of the standard IMAP IDLE feature. This works with email clients that support this including Apple Mail on macOS.
iOS does not support IMAP IDLE, and requires the use of Apple's Push Notification service (which introduces a third-party and possible privacy concerns for customers). However, it is a commonly requested feature, and we are looking at if we can provide this in the future. |

"Upon seeing that the IMAP server offers support for Apple's push mechanism, the app sends the server a list of folders that its interested in knowing about changes for, and a push token. Just as described above, when something changes the IMAP server sends a message through Apple's push service, which causes the Mail app to wake and make IMAP requests to get the changes." https://blog.fastmail.com/2016/12/21...lk-about-push/ They also note about their own app that: "...there's arguably a privacy concern in that we're sending fragments of mail contents through a third-party service (though you already have to trust Apple if you're using their hardware so it's perhaps not a concern)." I think as they say above, if you opted in to Apple's system, and can always choose "Fetch" instead of "Push", then really it is up to the customer how they handle this. As I said, it is a popular request, so we will look seriously at what we can do here for customers. |

We have started working on this feature, which shouldn't be very complicated.
