ISO web wrapped app(s) for Google Mail and Calendar that have push notifications but don't download any data

Does anyone know which apps are web wrapped for allowing IMAPing to mail & calendar have push notifications but don't download data to the device?
Basically, our enterprise would like to allow users to use personal iOS devices to access mail, calendar and contacts (we're on Google Apps).  However, our strict security requirements are such that we need to make sure the app isn't being "overly helpful" and saving the accessed data in a cache or pulling it down to the device in any way. 
My quick test for checking if apps don't pull down data to reside on the device is to put the device in Airplane Mode.  If you can see your email or calendar
entries with an app when it's in airplane mode, then it's pulling the data down or caching it in some way. 
I've tested the Google Gmail app and the Google Apps Browser from G-Whizz and both fail this test since they cache the last mail and/or calendar entries accessed.
The only legit way for users to access our enterprise mail and calendar is through the browser only.  However, they can't get push notifications or alerts for new emails or from their calendar.  The concern and likely outcome is that users will just set up an account on the native Mail app using IMAP, either knowing and disregarding that it's a security violation or not really understanding that they're committing a security violation.
I gotta believe there's an app for that. 
Any help be greatly appreciated!

The living issue is complex in my case. Legally speaking, I have no personal residence globally. I just live wherever my father goes, which is everywhere. I'm an expat and it seems that these sites aren't really expat-friendly. They seem to be built for localization and assume everyone stays in the same place.
I don't know what I'd be considered. I'm a US passport holder and live in China, but I only speak some Chinese and I can't read it (it using non-latin characters is just too much for my mind's memory to handle). Besides that, I'm not interested in popular Chinese apps. They tend to just be annoying and kooky and generic and put together badly, often full adware and spyware (speaking for most Chinese software, in fact). In fact, a lot of apps I want are illegal in China (YouTube, Facebook, etc) and I use a VPN to use the services. I assume I wouldn't find these apps on the Chinese store. In fact, last I checked, there wasn't many English apps on the Chinese app store. This is probably due to their strict moderation or something.
I've been going to international schools since I got here and college would be in English too. I can speak some Chinese, but not read it.
Well, I guess the answer is that I can't use the App Store in English. So I guess I'll just sign out everything on my phone involving my Apple account and just start using third-party tools to do my business.

    hello
    The problem appeared two days ago is that I can't open my mail app. everything was fine and functional. Now I double click on the icon and it does not respond. it receives mail and I can see push notifications on the mail icon but when  I try to open it is no use. OS Y 10.10.2 (14C1514)

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Restart the computer. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. Any custom stationery that you created may be lost. Ask for instructions if you want to preserve that data. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select

  • Problems with Yahoo Mail and Calendar on MacBook air.  Very slow performance.  Any ideas?

    I have a macbook air running Apple's latest OS. My system is up-to-date.  Over the last few weeks, I have had a very difficult time accessing my yahoo mail and calendar.  I can access other sites, thus I know my connection is solid.  The problem seems to be limited to Yahoo.  I can access my yahoo account on my husband's PC without any issues.  To be specific, here are the symptoms of my problem.  When I try to open my yahoo mail on the Mac, I get the spinning wheel for several minutes.  I view my yahoo calendar through ical.  Yahoo is not connecting with ical, thus my calendar is empty.  I verified my settings and they are correct.  Also, sometimes after trying and retrying the calendar will connect.  I checked the web and did not find any info about this problem.  I appreciate your assistance.

    I have been having the same issue. I can't figure it out. I have tried setting this up my yahoo calendar on my phone and my computer and my iPhone with no luck. It's definitely a Yahoo Problem. At this point I have become enemy to Yahoo Calendar.

  • How do I change an "offline" out mail server for Google mail to online.  Currently 2 "offline acts use one online out Google server.

    I have three Google accounts.  All three work fine for incoming mail.  However, two have their out going mail server listed as "offline."  So when I send email from those two accounts, it goes through the one active online out going account.  When the receiver get the email, it appears to come from the on online account, rather than the account from which it was sent (i.e., one of the two offline out server accounts).  How do I get all of the out servers online?

    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    I assume that you are talking about web browser links that create a new message in mail? If you are talking about web mail it will always go from the web mail service you are logged into
    In mail when you have a new message you can select the account it is sent from in the drop down list just below the subject line
    I believe that the next new mail defaults to the last account you used so if you just used .mac mail with mail the next time you send I believe it will start there until you change it
    If mail is not running it will use the top account in the list - to change that open your mail preferences ==> accounts and drag your comcast account to the top of the list if it is not there

  • How to best set up a mail and calendar server for a church

    I am the IT guy for a smaller church of 200 regular attendees.  We want to start hosting our own mail and calendar server.  We bought a mac mini and installed mac os x server.  So far I have enabled the mail, calendar, and contacts sections of the server but we aren't live quite yet (domain is not pointed at the server yet).  My question is, I do not know much about profile manager or open directory, would those benefit me at all?  I do not wish to manage devices, I just want to make the most use out of the computer as a mail server primarily.  I have found some limitations on users and groups where I wish I could do more (such as creating mailing lists that include e-mails that are not hosted from within the server without creating a user that forwards to personal e-mail for every person). 
    Would open directory and/or profile manager add more functionality to the computer as a mail server?
    Thank you

    @camelot
    What is it exactly open directory will give me that I cannot do with the regular software in this regard?  I am not sure what you mean by a signle shared mailbox and calendar.
    @cpragman
    Google apps for business was something I was looking into at one point but decided not to use it.  Once we grow more I can see us moving over to it but with just maybe 5 people tops having a real e-mail address it seems a little overkill.  (I apologize, I omitted that from my original question, i only put in the number of attendees)
    @Lincdavis
    Fortunately I don't care about whether they can create it themselves or not .  And your comment about creating a sharing-only user.  Do you mean for every external e-mail I want in a mailing list, I need to create a user for them (with services disabled) and then change mail options to forward to their personal e-mail? 
    Then go back to groups, create a group that can be e-mailed, and add those users to it? 
    Thanks

  • Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly.  It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again.  Any suggestions?

    Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly.  It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again.  Any suggestions?

    Try to force quit the mail app
    Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
    Failing that, go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and remove your account info then put it back in and see if that works

    I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

    Thank you Carolyn, How helpless you can feel without this App!
    Going into the App Store as you suggest, I see 'thee updates available", the first says, 'X RESTART', the second says, 'Garage Band, an error has occurred" (in red), and the third 'Memory Clean, UPDATE'.
    Am I correct in thinking that OSX is the problem, because it is waiting for a restart?
    Kind regards,

  • Notifications for Mail and Calendar don't work properly

    I only receive the Notifications from Mail and Calendar,
    when those applications are open and running.
    (yes, I have Preferences set to Alerts (not banners),
    all the following boxes are all checkmarked:
    Show in Notification 5 Recent Items
    Badge app icon
    Play sound when receiving notifications).
    I receive Notifications regarding other apps,
    such as Reminders, just fine, even when Reminders is closed.
    I usually have Mail and Calendar closed (not running)
    therefore I miss virtually all Notifications from those programs.
    If I have to have the programs (Mail and Calendar) open all the time,
    what's the point of Notifications?
    When Mail and Calendar are open and running,
    they alert the user with their own alerts
    (without need for Notifications).
