iCloud.com email instant two way push?

[yaynative]

I noticed after using a iCloud.com email for the first time that it isn't a instant two way sync like exchange is.

Is this the same for everyone else?

Mine is darn near instant.

Mine takes about two minutes to sync with iCloud.com. Oh we'll.

By two-way sync, I'll assume you mean that deleting a message on one device deletes it on all others, and icloud.com?

If I delete a message/mark unread/mark read/flag a message on an iOS device the message is updated nearly instantly on icloud.com and my Macs. If I do the same on a Mac using Mail, the change happens on icloud.com, but the iOS device is not updated until a fresh push connection happens. Then the sync occurs. I don't think the issue is technical though, but is a means to reduce battery consumption by not pushing every flag status or read/unread status to every iOS device, where battery life means something more than on a Mac (especially a desktop). Gmail is seamless - but on iOS keeps a persistent connection to Gmail, thus why it updates so fast. I haven't measured battery consumption personally.

After a couple of days, I decided it works fast enough for me to be happy.
