Help Gmail and exchange push in one app?

Not sure if there are Android mail wizzies here?

My problem is I use gmail for personal use and also need to connect to Exchange 2003 at work.
I don't want two email apps but I do want a client that will push both accounts.

The native SGS2 mail app works really well with our exchange server but doesn't allow push gmail.
The gmail app (apart from being horrible) won't connect to exchange.
K9 mail will connect to gmail and push but won't connect to our Exchange server.

Any ideas on how to get gmail push in the native app or a (preferably free) app that will do both?
 
I used the stock email app to push gmail and it works fine. Not sure why it does not for you. Are you using the Gmail app as well? Maybe it is clashing with the email app. Try clearing the data and putting the email accounts back in. Maybe remove the account from the Gmail app at the same time.

Sorry can't be more help
 
That's a good idea.
Thanks very much! :-)

Update:
Tried it and it still doesn't push.
The only app I can get Push Gmail on is the Gmail app itself and it does that through the Accounts and Sync settings on the phone.

Bah, have to make do with polling every 5 minutes I guess with the Native email app because I hate the Gmail app.

Thanks anyway.
 
Sorry couldn't help.... but if you set the stock email app to poll every 5 minutes, it would effect all the email accounts and not just gmail. Maybe someone who have the same issue as you would have a solution.
 
Managed to fix the problem by using social hub.
When you assign gmail as the premium account it works as push in the standard client as well as Exchange :-)
