Helio offers push email to ultimate inbox usersIn a confusingly enterprise move, youth-targeting Helio has just announced that their “Ultimate Inbox” service available on the Helio Mysto, Helio Fin, and Helio Ocean handsets is now push-email enabled. Not only will Helio actively push emails to your Helio from any Gmail, Yahoo!, Hotmail email account, but the new push-email service is said to be compatible with any POP and IMAP email account.

Push email is usually reserved to dedicated push-email services, so Helio’s push (pun unintended) to marry the real-time email service to virtually any email account is a refreshing change.

So, if you’re holding a Helio handset in your hand (or pocket) and still haven’t stumbled upon Helio’s new offering, check out the new service. Just fire up your Helio Mail client and hit “Send/Receive.” When prompted to enable the push-email service, choose accordingly.
