Check Mail Fetch Settings (Most Common)
The most important setting is whether your email account is set to Push or Fetch data.
If your main email account (like Gmail or Yahoo) is listed and set to Fetch, the one-minute delay might be a brief lag near the end of a Fetch cycle, or the "Automatically" setting might be slower than you'd like.
Action: If your email provider supports it, ensure your account is set to Push. If not, set the Fetch schedule to Every 15 Minutes (the shortest interval available).
Check for Power/Data Restrictions
Check Notification & Focus Settings
Internet and Connection Glitches
A temporary network hiccup can cause a small delay.
If you are using Gmail or Outlook, their dedicated apps (downloaded from the App Store) often provide more reliable and immediate "Push" notifications than the native Apple Mail app.

You ask about emails, but show us a screenshot of Messages. Which are you really asking about? Mail? Or Messages?
Email is not instant messaging. A delay could happen at one of the many nodes an email is routed through to get to you.

No, I didn't. But your post had very little information beyond the ambiguous screenshot. You have a notification that you got an email one minute ago (at the time the screenshot was taken) overtop of your Messages. There is no indication as to why you think the email is delayed.
All I can think is that perhaps you don't understand the notification? It tells you when the mail arrived, not that it was late. It is possible that the notification was delayed. That happens occasionally.

Obviously, you missed the lessons on civility and politeness.

Nor do I expect it to be IM. But if mail is set up to push, then it should do just that: push. It was doing it before I updated my NEW iPhone 17 Pro Max to iOS 26.1.
