Setting POP Frequency for Netscape (R) Messenger


Most e-mail software can be set up to retrieve your messages automatically on a regular interval. Attempting to retrieve new messages on extremely frequent intervals may adversely impact your E-mail performance. Since our systems only query for new messages once every 5 minutes, we recommend you adjust your retrieval settings to check for messages with the same frequency - every 5 minutes.

To improve your E-mail performance, follow the directions below to change your retrieval setting.

  1. Open Netscape Messenger
  2. Click on the EDIT menu
  3. Select the MAIL AND NEWSGROUPS ACCOUNT SETTINGS sub-menu
  4. Click SERVER SETTINGS
  5. Place a check in the box next to "Check for new messages every ___ minutes"
  6. Type 5 in the minutes box
  7. Click OK
