Mail Arrival Properties

Use the Retrieve Every field to determine how often new mail is retrieved. The default value is 300 seconds, or 5 minutes. You can retrieve mail at any time between this interval by choosing Load In-Box or Save Changes from the File Menu.

Use the Signal With fields to determine how Mail Tool signals new incoming mail. The Beep setting causes Mail Tool to beep the specified number of times. The Flash setting causes the icon to flash or the Header window to flash, depending on whether the Mail Tool is closed to an icon or open.
