Is there some way to detect a new email message without polling, like there is with SMS messages and phone calls?

Phone calls, for example, have this:

telephone.incoming_call()
telephone.call_state(on_telephone_state_change)

and SMS's have this:

the_inbox = inbox.Inbox()
the_inbox.bind(on_incoming_sms)

But I can't find anything for emails. Any ideas?

Thank you!

hi GonzalezM
as far as i know in PyS60 we can send emails using the mms extension module but we dont have anything for notification of emails. May be for this you need to write an symbian C++ extension.
this is upto my knowledge.

That sounds fun too. I'd love to know how to do that. Are there any instructions for writing extension modules that you'd recommend? I want to be able to package this as a stand-alone program eventually for 3rd edition devices, but the process seems kind of daunting to me right now.
