Email check?

Just got a sidekick and i was wondering how often it checks for email from the server? I am using my own imap account, and it doesnt seem instant, so i was wondering if anyone knows at what intervals it checks it.

It's supposed to poll pop3/imap accounts every 15 minutes or so. you can force an update at any time by pressing menu+U,

it never checks every 15 minutes. More like every 2 hours or so.

thats what i thought... I seem to have gone an hour and no auto fetch...

also just curious, if you send an email using the hiptop, does the sent message also appear in your outlook? is there a way you can get both hiptop and outlook to sync together, so they both contain the same emails?

thanks,

It depends. Seems like there are times that the hiptop picks up my imap mail faster than my desktop client does, other times there are some delays. I think there's some degree of randomness to the polling so it may not be exactly 15 minutes every time (I've never checked it really) but I'd say that mine seems to poll reasonably close to 15 minute intervals...
