I used K-9 client on Android for one year with push, but I had to remove it and go back to integrated email client because it drained the battery.
It sounds like "push" was really implemented as a poll.
Dovecot has by default:
imap_idle_notify_interval = 2 mins
So the phone needs to receive and send data every 2 minutes. Increasing this / disabling it entirely should help with power usage. But even then active TCP connections do eat up battery.
