IPhone 5 not updating mail automatically...?

I just got my first iPhone so I have a question. The mail app that it comes with does not update my inbox automatically. In other words, I have to click on the app and refresh the inbox manually to get my new mail. My yahoo app that I downloaded updates automatically and I get a notification every time I get a new email. I would like my other email account to do this. Should I just download the gmail app (I have two emails) or is there a way for the app that came with the phone to so this for me? Thank you!

    Do any of your email accounts support Push? Are they set to fetch manually, and not hourly, every 30 minutes, or every 15? You can check this in Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Fetch New Data. In Advanced you can configure settings for the individual accounts.
