@Sam yeah i agree the W3C push API is the best chance their is at the moment. I'm just not sure how quick adoption would be for email.
I think Fastmail is an exception to this as they do some pretty awesome and useful stuff. IIRC I think their push notifications is part of their jmap spec which the fastmail web ui is already using? I see they also support apples XAPPLEPUSH extension which is rare to see, so they could possibly be willing to adopt the same approach for Ubuntu if demand is there.
