This just polls every x (default 30) seconds; if you use IMAP you can do better with IDLE (e.g. I pipe `fetchmail --check` to something that triggers a sync to immediately get new mails)

I wonder though if also the Gmail interface supports something like this? It seems it's pretty fast at receiving email.

basemi

If I read it right, it's built on Gmail API

Are there any other provider agnostic tools with similar capabilities?

I guess JMAP was created to also deal with this. I'm not sure how far are we in implementation on clients side.
