My iPhone always receives emails a minute or two before my mac and it's a bit annoying when I want to reply instantly using my mac.
Got a tip for us?

First your mail server needs to be IMAP and support push mail.
Go into Mail » Preferences » Accounts (Advanced) and make sure that Use IDLE command if the server supports it is enabled (it's enabled by default).
(This is the fun part) Again go into Mail » Preferences » General and set Check for new Mail to Manually.
Now send yourself a new message (preferably from a different account) and watch the fun.
