Oh, yes. It's definitively possible. Utterly logical, too, to design a program that can schedule itself to have connection- intervals just like you explain. In the way that any scheduled connection- interval longer than an instant will use imap idle. And then duplicate that feat in several time- slots during the day.
(.. then again. For all I know, that's actually how it's meant to/will function - but noone has managed to have figure out how to reliably set it in the menu yet..)

By the way, gmail supports IMAP. I don't know why you said that it doesn't.
The built-in mail client is not very robust, it cannot handle large mailboxes (I will have to retry it with the latest firmware) For best performance:
1. Avoid many open apps when your phone is on schedule to download messages.
2. Use the 'headers only' option, this saves a lot of headaches later. Your phone will not lag (as much) and performance should be a lot more snappy.
3. Set the option to only display unread messages, this increases screen refresh rates and overall perception of speed.
4. Ensure plenty of free memory on your device. If your device (not memory card) is almost full, your phone will stop downloading messages as it cannot store them. I have tested this many times (moved a large 100+ MB file from the M2 to the phone's memory, then tried scheduled download).

i'm having the same problem with my P1i, even with plenty of free memory (eg no apps open except messaging) the scheduled download settings basically have no effect. i have no problem manually getting/sending mail.
was looking forward so much to having this phone, i can't believe such basic functionality gives it problems.
if anyone has any ideas for a fix i would hugely appreciate it. i just hope they will fix it in a firmware update...

Not likely - but you can work around it by having a gprs- point connected (set internet-accounts-> more->alternatives->preferred mode, to "automatic", and have a gprs account that works in the connection list. It's possible you have to choose that connection in the e-mail scheduler as well.. but it's difficult to be certain exactly how it works. No documentation..). And then the scheduler and imap idle should work.
Also, please sign the feature request for a more useful scheduler- option for e-mail on the wiki.

About gmail's IMAP4; It hasn't given me an option for a long time to enable IMAP but as soon I disabled POP3 they got IMAP enabled few days after. I got it set up on my P1i and it works a charm.
BTW, my gmail acc is old, so I had same problem as many with waiting for push mail.
