Gary, sounds like you want "Push Mail" which as far as I know is supported by Gmail and maybe others. With this method as soon as you get a gmail it pops up on your phone.

Perhaps consider using a gmail account and routing your other mail through this? I have done this with my hotmail account.

Then as you are a business user you might want a more feature filled email client, have a look at K9.

From my experience, GMAIL pulling from a different account doesn't happen real-time. New mails are pulled every x-minutes (gmail sets this I think) So it won't be real-time. (stand to be corrected)

If you try the "email" application (not sure if it was in the stock ROM, but definitely in Paul's R3 custom rom), you should be able to setup your aol account (if it works iwht pop/imap). Then, in the account settings, you can set the "Email check frequency" - up to every 5 minutes.
