Topic: Setting MultiDrop mail collection times

[IanT]

At the risk of taking advantage of this list...

Can someone point me to where I might manually set the MultiDrop mail collection frequencies to values other than those given in the email retrieval drop down options?  I have been looking at the templates but have so far drawn a blank...  Thought I'd cracked it when I found /50multi-drop but ...

That's very useful, as I am also having trouble with the hourly one.

where does this procedure get called from, and which user does the resultant crontab run under (neither admin nor root appear to have crontab entries)?

TIA

Man cron

It is in the global file /etc/crontab

01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly

1 minute past every hours all the scripts in /etc/cron.hourly get executed by user root
