Receiving Mail automatically

Is there a way to just receive your mail automatically instead of clicking on
"receive all" tab all the time? And also, can we be alerted when we have new
mail? Like a sound of a bell or the windows mail tab blinking when it's
minimized?

Go to Tools, Options, enable "Play sound when new messages arrive"
and enable "Check for new messages every X minutes". The checking
interval should not be less than 5 minutes.
