How to change above one hour
Authored by: GregLink on Oct 20, '05 10:49:02AM

Actually, to fix the minimum one hour thing is quite simple. While the preferences pane only shows a few choices for checking intervals, you can set it manually in the plist, at ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist . Just open it up in the Plist Editor and look for the field "PollTime", which is a number in minutes to wait between checks. I forget if this is default unwritable, but if it is, it's easy enough to change in the terminal via sudo. At the same time, if you don't know how to do that via sudo, I probably shouldn't tell you either.

So yeah - set your mail check interval to whatever you'd like via the Plist.
