Topic: can't change the frequency the emails are checked

[k0r54]

Hi,

I have sme 7 with all the updates and have just set up fetchmail again on it. The emails are collecting fine every 15 min. however when I try and change the email > reception settings > email frequency from 15 min to 5 min when I click save it does nothing. It says my new email settings have been saved and its green with no problem but it hasn't actally done it. When i go back into email > reception settings they are back at 15 min. I have tail -f /var/log/messages and it seems to be doing what is should do so i dont really know

Any ideas?

Thanks

If you are using Pascal Schirrmann's Fetchmail here is how
(you can read this on Mail retrieval panel)

Scheduling information
E-mail retrieval is done at regular intervals. The scheduling rules are the same as the rules set in the 'E-Mails' panel.
If you want to change the schedule, simply change them in the E-Mail panel.
NOTE! : If you don't use ETRN or Multi-Drop, you cannot change the schedule !
To work around this limitation, do the following :
- Select ETRN and select your new schedule then 'Save'.
- Then select 'Standard (SMTP)' and 'Save' again.

Get it?
