mBox Mail: Hotmail & Windows Live Push Mobile Mail App for iPhone and iPod Touch

No push though. The developers of mBox Mail say it’ll be featured in the next 3.0 release but no word on the release date – I think there are major issues with Hotmail providing push.
Even my Outlook 2007 which is set up with my Hotmail account doesn’t push – I have to tell Outlook to fetch new e-mails every 5 minutes. Hotmail doesn’t support push. If mBox Mail can even provide a fetch server rather than push – that’d be a HUGE improvement.
I have hotmail set up on my phone through the iphone default app(the apple guy set it up for me) Do i need to delete that before installing the mbox app?
