Because they don't want people complaining about the battery life being halved from the already short one? And can you not have a text message sent instead?

when they fix IMAP IDLE for modest you will get push.
on the otherhand the reason they have disabled it is because it sucks batteries dry

I know I know - I (and many other previous S60 owners) have been complaining about this one for the last 5 years and unless someone has a solution to this on the N900, I'll keep complaining: why is 5 minutes the lowest email synch frequency? Why isn't there a 1 minute option? I am sure that it is only some hardcoded seatbelt via some settings file not a technical limitation.
1 minute would get me as close to the "push" experience as I would want to be without changing email providers to something as unreliable as Nokia Push email.
So in summary, does anyone know how to hack in the magical 1 minute synch frequency?
And I know from previous experience that there will be people asking me why I need to check my emails every minute, so here is the answer in advance: I am monitoring website healths and if there is something an email gets dispatched to me, so obviously when a site has some issue that caters to 50-100k users I have to be able to respond ASAP.
Check my post in the N900 sub-section for how to configure Nokia Messaging to work with your N900 & your emails.
