Tried Outlook (Terrible, especially with Gmail), and Thunderbird (Works OK, e-mails tend to deliver after ~5 sec). With Gmail web interface (and Desktop notifications in Chrome), I receive mails in less than a second. On my Android phone I usually receive them within 1-2 sec, though that depends on connection.
