Does it support IMAP IDLE? I've had to do some ridiculous workaround by forwarding my work and gmail accounts to icloud accounts just so I can get push working and none of the other email clients I have tried support it.

It'll detect if IMAP IDLE is supported on the provider and use it wherever it can, so IIRC:

Gmail / iCloud: Yes FastMail: Yes Yahoo: No AoL / Exchange / Hotmail / Live: Can't remember
