Easier said than done... considering the quality of connection here.. if your smtp or pop3 connection hangs for some reason... you'll end up with a whopping phone bill!! When I was in UAE , I used to do this .. but out there I even had my modem muted coz getting online was a sure thing... unlike here where even the dialtone is not guaranteed! ;-) I think Suresh's suggestion of ip-up and would be the best way to go and set a fixed amount of time for flushing and fetching mails using cron.
