I'm not really sure what you want to do, but are you wanting to check
mail, say, every 5 minutes during business hours, but not at all
during non-business hours?
If so, you can try the Scheduler function in Tools | Scheduler.
Personally, I couldn't get it to work reliably, but hopefully you'll
have better luck. To use it:
1. Uncheck "Periodical checking each" in Account | Properties... |
Options
2. Then, go to Tools | Scheduler
3. Right click on Repeating Tasks and select "New"
4. Configure the parameters as needed
There is some information in the help file under the heading "Using
the Scheduler".
If Scheduler solves your problem, let us know. I think several users
would like this function if they could get it to work. Good luck.
