"Check mail every ??? minutes"
mrainey:
I have Courier check every five minutes.
tomos:
nice to know I'm not alone in the 2-5 mins category :D
I have email client minimised to tray but no sound notification - otherwise I'd get nothing done ...
Lashiec:
Dunno. As soon as I receive new mail, Miranda notifies me of it. In the case of Yahoo, the system is a bit flaky (so it could notify you the next day), and GMail is supposed to check every 30 minutes.

But Miranda interacts with your POP3 or IMAP account, yes? Then it has to check for mail every "X" minutes :)
Personally, I set TheBat to check every 5 minutes (couldn't remember whether I used 5 or 10 minutes, and noticed I had it set at 3 - decided to bump to 5 to be a bit more polite to the mailservers). Contemplating moving to IMAP-based mail (and perhaps ditching TheBat in favor of the less cluttered ThunderBird), along with MailStore/whatever to index older mails.
Darwin:
I'm in the same boat - had to check what I set my check mail period is and found it to be three minutes. Like f0dder, I changed this to every five minutes (I don't do anything THAT important!).
