This is what I do to get "blackberry" type push email. I've got both Snappermail and Chatter installed. Chatter works for email, in addition to IM, but I really like Snappermail for full email. Anyway, I've entered my email server (IMAP) into Chatter. Whenever the server gets an email, it pushes it out to Chatter, then Chatter vibrates and/or sounds an alert. I can then read it in Chatter and also send off a quick reply OR I can tell Snappermail to do a POP3 fetch. Chatter does NOT poll and IMAP "pushes" are pretty fast. Before Chatter, I used to have Snappermail do a POP3 fetch every half hour.
PS - Although Chatter implies IM, it can be used for either IM or IMAP email or both. A great product!
