Checking for Incoming Mail

 

 

1From the Tools menu, choose Options.

2Scroll through the category list and choose Checking Mail. The Checking Mail option window appears. For more information, see “Checking Mail” on page 199. Click the page number to display the topic.

3In the Check for mail every _ minutes field, enter the number of minutes that you want between mail checks.

Note. Fifteen minutes is a good minimum interval because checking mail more frequently puts an unnecessary load on your incoming mail server. If the field is empty or is set to 0, mail is not automatically checked.

If automatic checking is set, the Check Mail command under the File menu shows you the next scheduled time for an automatic check.

The Check Mail option also specifies that an account should be checked for new mail when a manual mail check is done.
