Email services push email to your Blackberry device at various times. Some push immediately, while others push at five minutes or longer. From experience, which email services you find push immediately to your device? If not immediate, which email service do you use and how long does it take to reach you?

I use Gmail, and it is immediate.

Is right now, or 5 minutes later really that big of a deal?

I just want to find out which are fast and which are slow. I use att.blackberry.net and the push is immediate. My girlfriend is presently using yandex and that service pushes in ten minutes.

Verizon here and it is immediately for me.

SmoothOperator and Zoso, just so you know, a lot of us do not recommend using the carrier supplied email address, xxx.blackberry.net address. But if it works for you, that is fine, but be aware of what could be potential problems.

Here is why:

The only way to read mail to that address is on the BB itself.

It has no SPAM filtering so if the address gets "harvested" you will get more spam than you wish.

And, you cannot take that address with you if/when you change carriers.

Might want to check this thread. Some discussion about which ones are PUSH:
