I can't get it to show up as a number on the mail icon, I have to check it manually, and then it refreshes with my new mail.
How do I make it so it notifies me when I get an email?

Push IMs are going to be great. The next few months are going to be really exciting with all the new application and the push IM.I am hoping Gmail adds the push email when Apple launches their push servers in September. We are suppose to be able to get push IM's too. I can't wait!

By the end of the year, I think we will see some really cool stuff.
I am really looking forward to the push servers Apple is setting up. When those are in place, there are going to be some great apps for the iPhone. Until then I am enjoying my iPhone for what it is now and loving it. I went from a Treo 700wx and I must say, I am NOT going back to a WM device again.

gmail does not PUSH to the iPhone. You may have it fetching every 15 minutes, but this is not push. Push allows you to keep a active connection open to the mail server. This connection is open, but not using any bandwidth except for some heartbeats every once in a while. When a new email comes into the server it instantly pushes a notification out over this connection to your phone to grab the new message.I set my phone up with Gmail, and it does push to my phone, not instantly, but every few minutes, and i get the numbers in the upper right corner too... am i missing something? I only manually refresh when i'm trying to keep up with a current conversation.
You can probably setup IMAP or POP with AOL now in gmail or ymail and have it pushed to your phone.I hope aol comes out with push....sometime....I have had my email account for 10 plus years that its hard for me to stray.

I have a gmail account and it pushes. It isnt an instant push but it does push them to my iphone rather quickly. I timed it at home. I sent an email from my Mac to my iphone and within 4 mins I had a notification on my phone saying I had an email. I can live with that until Sept. when Apple gets push email.
