Im running dovecot v2 and want to know if it supports IMAP push capabilities.
Dovecot supports IMAP IDLE as in RFC 2177 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2177).
I have a few client who has blackberries, iphones and tabs.
Blackberries are using their own proprietary form of push service in conjunction a Blackberry Enterprise Server. None the less they are able to use IMAP IDLE like iPhones and other smartphones or tablet PCs. There ist Z-Push, which I haven't tested, yet. http://z-push.sourceforge.net/soswp/ There is even a session called "Connecting mobile Devices with Z-Push and Zarafa/Dovecot" at the "Mailserver-Konferenz", Berlin 26th of May. :) http://www.heinlein-support.de/mailserver-konferenz/2011/vortrag/mobile-gera...

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
