kmail auto poll

Hi

Is there an option for kmail to check for new mail on a server every couple of minutes.
I have kmail setup to recieve mail from a server but I find that i have to constantally check for new mail manually.

I have set set up gkrellm to check for mail and this works as it somehow polls the mail server to check for mail, ( Im not really wanting to use gkrellm to check for mail. ) as i wold rather have kmail do it automatically.

Thanx

I don't have Kmail in front of me so I can't check the exact location.

However, it should be under settings, select the account for that mail box. There should be a tick box for 'Enable interval mail checking'. Below that there will be box for 'Check interval (minutes)'.

Hope that helps.

Hi red

Thanx for the reply, I was looking for something like that but could not find the option. Will go and re-check perhaps I missed it.
