E-Mail Retrieval
I have to have my E-Mail Retrieval Set on my Computer to check for mail every 5 minutes.
How often do you have yours automatically set for ?
Remember, this is for when you are working on the computer and you have the e-mail reader check for new messages.
Not when YOU physically get around to it.

I don't even bother anymore. I just check mine thru web-based reader now. Home PC is so slow I don't even look at it any more unless I'm expecting something..
I check it at work, which averages out to about once every other day.
t's all junk mail lately anyway. Nobody emails me anything anymore except chain mail crap. Must be nobody likes me anymore. Oh well.

5min. also depends on what im doing, the other night I was working on some strange prob with an old ink machine running Xenix (not UNIX), and the software engineers in the Netherlands
but I use Outlook...with my "rules Wizard" setup and SPAM blocker...needless to say, I use my puter for work even at home.
I even telnet to my IBM RS6000 in the garage...Im such a geek
230am im still working

At home................daily.
At work I open up Outlook in the morning, and "minimize" it so it runs in the background. Whenever I get mail, a wave file tells me, "You've got mail". Works really well.

I'm actually asking what you have the computer e-mail reader SET AT for retrieving mail.
(How often does the reader look for mail while you are working on the computer)
Ther is a setting in the tools section to set the reader up to retrieve new messages.
This question is not for when a person actually gets on and checks it.
