Push email is an email system that provides an always-on capability, in which new email is actively transferred (pushed) as it arrives by the mail delivery agent (MDA) (commonly called mail server) to the mail user agent (MUA), also called the email client. Email clients include smartphones and, less strictly, IMAP personal computer mail applications.

Famous quotes containing the word push:
“The young elm that must be cut
because its roots push at the house wall
taps and scrapes my window
urgently but when I look round at it
remains still.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
