Although I agree people should NOT check every minute, I will accept when they want to check every 5 minutes. Using IMap it will even check whenever the folder on the client is selected which can be several times per minute. > E-Mail is NOT instant messaging.

Sometimes it's a BIG attachment, sometimes it's poor routing. Most person to person e-mails reach me within ONE minute. Groetjes, Bonno Bloksma .... Back up my hard drive? How do I put it in reverse? --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus using f-prot and Sophos] To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
