The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.0b
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.2
- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.0, when used with:
- the operating system: OS/2
This article was previously published under Q104913 SYMPTOMS
In version 3.0, 3.0b, or 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows and version 3.0
of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, OS/2 workstation, Mail actually checks
for new messages at twice the rate displayed in the Mail Options dialog
box. For example, if the Check For New Mail Every <X> Minutes option is set
to 5, Mail checks for new messages every 10 minutes.
NOTE: The Mail Options dialog box also controls how often Mail checks
the outbox for messages to submit to the postoffice.
RESOLUTION
If you want Mail to check for new messages more often, change the setting
to half of what you want it to be. If you want Mail to check for new
messages every 10 minutes, change the setting to 5.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.0, 3.0b, and 3.2
of Microsoft Mail for Windows, and in version 3.0 of Microsoft Mail for PC
Networks, OS/2 workstation. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
