Are other people's emails so urgent that a few minutes latency on routine stuff is a hardship? 
I believe generally, if you have no need for push, then it isn't something for you. I do know that there are others such as myself that live and die by the immediate emails. Its not that a few minutes will kill me, but if you add up all the emails a power user gets, sometimes ranging to a few hundred, and multiply that by just 5 or 10 minutes over months or years, thats countless hours gone by. but if you only send or receive a few emails a day, yes, its not the most urgent thing in the world. My point is, it depends on your usage. Whats one man's trash is another's treasure so the saying goes.
