When I ran my own Dovecot server, IMAP worked properly, K9 was set to 
never poll, and set for push notify on 1st class folders, inbox was a 
1st class folder for dislay and push purposes, I got 'instant' 
notifications, life was good.

Two things have changed since then, I use MS365 instead of Dovecot, and 
Android has got more involved in battery saving.  I allow K9 to be 
active all the time (it shows as such on the notification shade with the 
warning it may eat battery).

Notifications often seem to not be "instant" now, can't put my finger on 
when it changed, I can frequently open my phone to see that it has 
received new email within the past couple of minutes, yet I didn't get a 
notification.

Other times picking up the phone seems to trigger it to check email 
(even though polling is off) and there are new messages it hasn't 
noticed until then.

I *want* it to notify me ASAP, I don't care if it eats more battery.
