k-9, maildroid or imomail

[ymf]

Could anyone refer to either of those? Which one is the best? And by which one could I change the view of new emails to white screen instead of black? Which one is the closest to outlook?

Also which one is free PUSH?

I am biased, but I am on just to answer your question on push. Push has two definitions:

1. True Push: This is blackberry style
2. Idle Push: This is available for most IMAP servers, but works differently than true push.

K9 and MailDroid both use Idle push (I never heard of that other mail client). True push you won't really find in mail clients on Android (I believe Seven does some form of this, but can't vouch for it or how good it is).

i thought that gmail was a true push type. the only one that i heard of.

I just searched online and i found that: Hotmail and Gmail can be configured as PUSH in the stock email app. i tested that by sending emails every minute and it works. email reaches the phone within a minute. Not talking abt the gmail app but configuring it within the default email app. dont care abt yahoo anyways
