  Email has bits of both in the chain.

  Using the olden-days of desktop email apps as an example then:

  • 1. You compose an email and push it to your email provider
  • 2. Your provider pushes the email to the provider of the recipient address (including retying if necessary)
  • 3. The recipient user “checks for new emails” and pulls down new ones from the provider to their local app
