How can I change the interval at which jwSpamSpy polls for new mail?
By default jwSpamSpy in Automatic Mode will check your ISP mail server every 10 minutes to see if any new mail arrived, but you don’t always have to wait that long to make sure a new email is delivered. You can either double-click on the system tray icon and perform an immediate mail pickup, or you can check for email from your mail client twice in a row one minute apart. That is because if during the regular 10 minute interval your mail client checks for mail then the scheduled mail pickup will be moved forward and the next pickup a minute later should already get it. If you wish to change the default from 10 minutes to something shorter or longer you can do that using the following procedure. Note that some ISPs do not like their mailboxes to be polled too often. They return intermittent errors if a mailbox is accessed too frequently. They do this to discourage excessive use of their resources. To change the interval (for example, to every 5 minutes), use RegEdit. Go to “Start / Run”
