imap push means something like imap lemonade

http://www.lemonadeformobiles.com/

which is in the roadmap for dovecot , but not urgent
unless there not so many clients using it
meanwhile z-push is a good alternative, normally install with apache
webserver php on the dovecot server

on android use k9 mail as best imap solution ( no need for z-push etc )
dont know about good alternative imap clients vor iphone or blackberry
