NOTE: Email applications such as Netscape Mail, Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc. have additional settings that will assist you in automatically downloading new email to your PC. This is referred to as POP interval time. Always avoid setting POP Intervals for less than 30 minutes. Automatically checking email every few minutes places a severe strain on the University's mail server. Please avoid frequent POP intervals.
