Basically I receive email instantly on my iPhone, but it takes hours to get to the Mail app on my Mac. When I click "Get Mail" it refreshes all but the MobileMe inbox. Any help?

Sorry if you think that this is a stupid question but have you checked the settings on you mac for syncing and also the setting within mail? :) Are there any settings that need to be adjusted to alter how often the mail is checked?

From what I see, everything seems normal. I see nothing about push in the settings, it just says IMAP.

On the mail client you just set it to IMAP so that would be correct. I don't use the MAC Mail Client (on Windows) but I have accessed the MM IMAP on a few different mail clients. My only problem is that "sometimes" it can't connect to the MM Servers. However, this is rare. Triple check you settings (userid = userid@me.com, password, SMTP SERVER - smtp.me.com - port 587, IMAP Server = mail.me.com port 993, and login using Secure Password Authentication)
