PLEASE, remove the limit of e-mail checking interval!

I want to check for new e-mails every minute again! What was the reason for introducing the 3 minutes minimum?

Thanks,
  Jan

I'm not sure why he put this on there... but I'm sure  you're not going to miss many/any emails by waiting 2 extra minutes

I agree with this.


The reason was probably to reduce heavy bandwidth issues and other stuff on some (slow) computers with a (slow) connection, but those who have a fast computer (which doesn't stress out under the constant polling) and have a fast internet connection, might want to check their mail more frequently....

An advanced registry setting for this would be best I think. In that way people who know what they are doing can set it lower. And for the average Joe the minimum stays 3 minutes.

Personally I also find 3 minutes still too big and would rather have this set as 1 minute.

People can have many personal reasons why they would want to have a lower limit.

Thanks CookieRevised.
I think there are options which require a lot of more technical knowledge, but everybody knows, what does this setting mean. If I have unlimited internet connection I would like to be able to check every minute, If I have 14.4kbps data-payed link then I set it ... to every two minutes.
But I don't see any reason why this setting should be limited either by minimum or maximum.

Yes, registry setting would be fine for me as well.
