What does mail have to do with contacts?Mail can arrive on your device in a few different ways...
Manual: only get new mail as and when you ask for it to happen, e.g. Dragging down your inbox to kick things off.
Fetch: every so often, in the background. You decide how often.
Push: mail gets pushed immediately onto your device by the sender. iCloud supports this, and it's probably what you want.
