If your kernel doesn't have DOS filesystem support you can still use
mtools, just install the package. Mtools does userland interpretation of
DOS filesystems, doesn't require the kernel to do it.

Alen, it appears that the only time you set the frequency of auto POP

create a new one and during the process keep an eye out for "Automatic"
something or other. Tick it, and set the frequency.
