I assume its more like a desktop POP mail client - ie you have to poll your
ISPs server at a set interval to see if you have email.
This is done without using any kind of packet-lite signalling layer, so I
imagine is very expensive.
With the japan mobile email services this is transparent (ie like SMS mail
magically arrives in your phone).

can anyone confirm?
