Can anyone offer advice on how to automatically receive mail as quickly as possible? I am wondering if Fastmail restricts how often a device can check for mail. I have used webmail exclusively, but I need to create a new setup that automatically and immediately brings new mail to my attention.

I am starting from scratch and am open to any ideas. Again, speed is of the essence. I have considered setting up Geary on a new Linux desktop, hopefully with an audio alert. Or would Windows be better? I could also obtain an iPad (with either the dedicated Fastmail app or Apple's system app) or a Fire tablet. Any ideas are appreciated.
