:)Muttrc so that mutt gathers mail every 13 minutes.
:)Option in Muttrc should be 'set mail_check=15' but it doesn't work.
:)Can anyone point me into the right direction and push?

I use pine. Very versatile. Why not use "fetchmail" to get your mail?
"fetchmail --daemon <seconds>" or "fetchmail -s <seconds>" will start
up the process as a background daemon and check for your mail every
time period that you specify". You can also run as "nohup fetchmail -d <secs>"
