Interval checking is no choice at all.
Ah, I'm stupid. I calculated for a 24hour day. It could even be more reduced as not always GPRS is required. I may be at home at USB or have Wifi. So with 6 hours on the road and 3 minutes checking I am at 8 euro per month just for the checking. For a low volume mailbox this would be still quite a waste.
