New messages in Inbox, and I haven't been in my email???

The past few days I have opened my email and there are messages already
received (bolded as unread). It makes me suspicious that someone has been
into my email, but I'm not sure. Are there any other explanations? Any ways
for emails to hit my inbox without the program being opened?

Which email program do you use?
Is it configured to check for new messages at startup, or automatically
every X minutes?
