I use the Gmail app on my phone, but it's blocked from notifying me. I open it up when I want to see my emails. Which I check often enough each day anyway, but I get to do it without interruption and no downtime.
The OPs screenshot[0] wasn't clear to me if that was a native browser notification or email popup. I check for new responses whenever I click on a new interesting HN post in my Firefox bookmarks toolbar RSS feed. While another email sitting there waiting defeats the purpose for me. In general my philosophy is lazy eval over eager eval, so to speak.
