Let's take this nice and slow. so you are talking about Email
messages that your computer checks for and downloads for you at set intervals?
what is your computer's operating system (which version of Windows or
Linux, for example windows xp or widnows 7 or Vinux or Debian, and
what email program do you use? Your computer needs an email client to
get your email and send out any messages you write. Examples for
email clients are Thunderbird, Eudora, Outlook Express, etc.
I just had a quick look at your email headers and saw that you are
using Outlook Express version 6.0. This means you are on windows xp or earlier.
I am not an OE but Eudora user but I easily found where you can
change your mail check frequency settings.
Do the following:
1. Bring up Outlook Express by starting it from either the desktop
icon or from the Start Menu.
2. Go to
tools/options
3. Focus will be on the general tab. This is the tab you want.
4. hnow tab till you find the checkbox that says "check mail every".
If this is checked, the next control you tab to will be the edit
combo where you set the time interval in minutes at which OE checks
for mail on your isp's server.
5. enter the mumeric value for the minutes for how often you want OE
to check mail, i.e. you currently should have it set to 30 minutes.
If you want mail checked more frequently, enter the number of minutes
for this, i.e. "5" for every five minutes or "10" for every ten minutes etc.
6. tab to the apply" button and hit your spacebar on it.
7. tab to "ok" and hit your spacebar on "OK" and you are done.
Your computer, using Outlook Express, which is your email program,
will now check email every number of minutes you set it to above.
lPlease remember when asking for help to be as specific as possible
as you can. We all want to help but "please help" does not give us
enough information. *smile*
Take care ...
