imap push not working

Re: Push-Messages and imap has no fuction

Did you enable it at the account level in AquaMail? This is OFF by default.

To do this please:

- Long press the account -> options and folders -> account options

- Enable IMAP push here

The same named item in *app* settings is ON by default, but you need to enable this *account* level setting too.

***UPDATE... I just found this other thread that answers  question, so I'll try what it suggests...

I'm having the same problem. I'm a new Aquamail user and I'm on a Google Pixel phone.  I have gone thru FAQ and then this forum. Looks like I'm missing an option.  When I go to Account Options, IMAP push isn't in the list.  See attachment. The other settings are correct.

One additional thing is in the App settings, I have Scheduled Sync unchecked since that sets an interval for checking, but I want immediate receive. Receiving does work on a schedule when I check that. But I don't receive anything otherwise.  I am only using Aquamail for my work email, so don't need the interval checks.

What type of account/connection are you using? Is it actually IMAP, POP or EWS?
POP does not have PUSH, and the menu wouldn't show it.
What is the version of your Aquamail? If it is from Google Play (and not one of the -dev), - then EWS doesn't have PUSH either.

If you account is not set up as an IMAP account, but your e-mail service provider supports IMAP, you may want to set the same account as IMAP (choose "Internet Account", then choose IMAP). You may need to set it up manually.
Then you'll have the option for PUSH.

Even when you have PUSH, you still want to have "scheduled sync" enabled and set, say to 15 or 30 minutes frequency. That will prevent any type of problems of loosing PUSH connection due to network or server idiosyncrasies.
