POP auto-collect 1 hour?

SeanR · 21 Feb 2007, 02:46 PM

I'm looking at fastmail, and it looks good, but this makes it not doable. I can only auto-collect on my external accounts once per hour, even in an Enhanced account! Am I misreading this? Is fastmail just not designed for collecting from other accounts?

I would like to see a more frequent auto poll for my Enhanced account as well. This should be easily done, I would think.

Is it possible for you to forward mail Sean? Then you would not need to create POP links.

Just for comparison, Tuffmail allows you to poll both POP and IMAP as frequently as 5 min. 15 min is also a choice.

Actually, Tuffmail collects external mail once per hour, to collect it faster, you must pay...

15 Minutes ($0.25/mailbox/month)
5 Minutes ($0.50/mailbox/month)

I think one feature wold be really useful: the possibility to have POP email retrieved automatically at webmail login, or even when IMAP activity is detected, of course within pop check limits...

It would likely take as long to login, as to POP all mailbox's manually. Many of us stay logged in all the time.
