I've created an email account and have assigned it as the site email. It is the email from which registration confirmation emails are sent. I have been noticing it takes about 20 minutes from registration until the user gets the confirmation email.

Is it normal for it to take this long? I'd like to get confirmation emails out in under 5 minutes. How can I configure this?

Does confirmation email turn around time depend on the cron timing? I have mine set to hourly cron runs.

Thanks

Drupal sends the email immediately, it's up to your email server on how long it takes to send. If you have no control over this, you may want to try the SMTP module and send all email through a Google email account.
