TIP
Receive and Read Email Messages
You must connect to your mail provider’s incoming mail server to retrieve and read messages sent to you. When another person sends you an email message, that message ends up in your email account’s mailbox on the incoming mail server maintained by your ISP or email provider. However, that company does not automatically pass along that message to you. Instead, you must use Mail to connect to your mailbox on the incoming mail server and then retrieve any messages waiting for you.
By default, Mail automatically checks for new messages every 5 minutes while you are online, but you can also check for new messages at any time.
