[kdepim-users] KMail 4.13 upgrade: check for new mails minimum every 5 minutes?

[Benedikt Engelhard]

Hi Dan,

ist there a reason for such a high minimum value of 5? At least in my 
oppinion, this is a rather long time.

Or is there a difference between "checking the inbox for new mails" and 
"syncing folders"?
Because since I did changed the value to one in akonadi_imap_resource_Xrc
>[cache]
>IntervalCheckTime=1
the new mails really arrive after one minute in my inbox (and that's really 
important IMHO).

Syncin folders every 5 minutes is ok, checking for new mail only every 5 
minutes is not. If these two ways are different in the codebase (syncing, 
checking), then there should be two different options to set the intervals in 
the configurations dialog...?

Greetings,
 Ben
