GMail pushing to iPhone (Softbank-JP)

Softbank in Japan providing the iPhone holders with an email address {sb_account}@i.softbank.jp and also pushing notifications on email arrivals for that address to the mobile. To have the same functionality for your GMail accounts:

  1. Create new ‘mobile’ label (optional)
  2. Create new filter
    • to:{gmail_account}+mobi@gmail.com, for example new.napster+mobi@gmail.com
    • Skip the Inbox (optional)
    • Mark as read (optional)
    • Apply the label: mobile (optional)
    • Forward it to: {sb_account}@i.softbank.jp (required)
So your push-supported email address will become {gmail_account}+mobi@gmail.com .
  • Pros: free messages backup, provider independent
  • Cons: Google dependency, no more free emails between Softbank members
