Title: Fetchmail - How do i set it to check mail sooner than 15 min
Post by: addodge on July 09, 2006, 05:08:29 PM

Hello All,
I was wondering if there was a way to change Fetchmail to check a POP3 account sooner than 15 minutes?  I have it installed and working great on a 7.0 Final server but my clients are complaining that the mail does not come in fast enough.  On sbs 2003 I was able to create a task schedule that ran the check mail every 2-3 minutes and then the deliver mail every 5 and that works great.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Setup a cron job to run

/etc/./startmail

Works for me.

I installed Crontab and setup a schedule to run every 2 minutes for testing purpases. It did not seem to work though.  Is /etc/./startmail the path that i need to enter,  or is there more to it than that?

Should work. Try from root

#/etc/./startmail

/etc/./startmail

What's the point of the "./" in that path. /etc/startmail is the same (better).
