C510 \push' e-mail help needed, why won't it work?

I've just got round to finally setting up my e-mail accounts (like Hotmail and Gmail) on my C510 mobile - the reason it took me so long is because I thought i'd have to enter all the settings, but was impressed to see that with this phone it offers to find your e-mail account settings going by your e-mail address.

Anyway, I want to use push e-mail - the option is there, but whenever I press it it reads "Push e-mail currently not supported by the server" Now Hotmail i'm not sure about but I know this should work with Gmail?

Is there something I am missing?

Any help in getting this set up would be fantastic!

Merry Christmas all.

If the server allows push, it will become available after you check for emails for the first time.

Thanks for the reply. I've heard from elsewhere that it should notify that push is available - yet I've not seen anything when trying Hotmail, Gmail or Yahoo - is there something I'm doing wrong? I'm letting the phone download the settings for the accounts rather than entering manually - do they need to be POP3 or IMAP4?

Thanks

Push is available on IMAP only.

I see - so I take it there are no IMAP4 settings for Hotmail?

Thanks
