The Gmail client can also work as a listener for new messages. Thinking that a webhook is present in the client that will be informed (new message event) by the server to fetch the whole message.
How does that work, is it a websocket connection between the web page and a Gmail notification server? I assume this is different from the web push notification?
This is very high level and super simplified
Simple but easy to understand the top level. Now I have lot question coming straight after reading this :)
