    Hi folks,

    Got the new Sparrow app and love it. An issue is though it's not Checking my emas although the standard mail app is?

    I have pop disabled in my gmail account but still nothing regards checking it.

    Anyone else having this problem? I am not using push also - checks automatically every 15 minutes...

    Sparrow (or indeed any third party mail application) can't poll in the background the same way that the iOS Mail app can - they don't have the background permissions to do it.

    Sparrow also don't support direct Push notifications yet because they would need server side access to your mail account the way the notification system is set up currently.
