Default Mail Client
Clicking a mail notification popup will open the default mail client specified in System Settings -> System Info -> Default Applications.

Permanent Notifications
GNOME-Shell notifications are visible for a few seconds only before they vanish in GNOME's hidden messaging tray.
If you like to have a permanently visible notification counter in your top panel, you probably want to install this GNOME-Shell extension.
