This 5 minute mail problem is actually a bug -- a negative interaction between polling and sending email messages.
Workaround: set a VolumePollInterval that is say 10 or 20 minutes (specified in seconds). The default is 5 seconds and apparently it triggers an email when the device is waiting for a mount request. I hope to fix this before the next release.
