Is there a way to have my gmail pull my mail every few hrs? I was looking everywhere on my phone but I couldn't find it. I remember seeing this on my mytouch 3g 2 years ago but now I need help lol

Yes but you can't use the Gmail app. You have to use the HTC email app. It is preloaded on the phone. Under the settings is a option to tell it how often you want it checked. I don't understand why anyone would want to use it though when the Gmail app is true push mail and notifies you instantly if you get new mail.

Anyone know how to get push mail on the email app because I do like it's interface better than the Gmail app but I want my emails instantly without an app needing to check for new mail.

You could try setting up the htc email app using the active sync settings for gmail (like you would on windows mobile).
I have not tried this on the sensation but gmail had push enabled through active sync on other devices so I assume it would work.
