It wasn't so much the notification I was talking about, it was the
content. I was assuming that the recipient of a notification makes a
conscious decision whether or not to fetch the email. Thus the delay.
If that assumption is incorrect then I don't see a delay problem. As
Ian said in another mail, the user experience is not dissimilar to the
current POP experience.
