Frequency of fetching new mail

Most mail clients (Outlook Express, Netscape, Eudora, etc.) allow the user to set the polling period for checking new mails, i.e. setting automatically the process of checking and fetching new messages from the server.

Please do not set this value below 10 minutes, as frequent polling from a lot of clients slows down our servers and may cause the client to report error messages. Use the following guides in order to change the polling settings.


Choose your mail client and operating system from the table below:
