No, you require an 'always on' connection that maintains a link to your server. I use ChatterEmail on a Treo 650 and that gives an instant email on my phone mail app - this is with my own Zimbra OSS server. You get the same functionality in current 2.x releases of Thunderbird if you uncheck all the timer mail checks, once a message is received it will appear in Thunderbird. The catch here (two actually) is that you need a) an unlimited phone plan and b) email software (on the phone) that works with IMAP idle.
