You may set how often your inbox is refreshed from a popdown menu here. When the inbox is refreshed, the system displays new messages received at that time. This does not check external accounts when refreshing the inbox.

To automatically empty your trash whenever you logout, check 'Empty trash at logout'. Remember that messages in the trash also count against your message space limitations.
To set default message header views, select either 'Basic Header View' or 'Full Headers View'. In most cases the 'Basic Header View' is all that is needed.

To delete an account, select the checkbox next to the name and click delete.
