By default OfficeTalk checks the workgroup database for new local mail every 5 minutes. This period may be changed from within Supervisor mode. For more information, see Polling the Database. This section also describes how you can set up a single machine to check for new mail for all users thereby reducing network traffic.
You may independently specify how frequently to check for new MAPI and VIM mail. For more information, see MAPI Service Settings and VIM Service Settings.
If your machine is a gateway machine for the Internet mail service then you may specify a comprehensive connection schedule, letting you choose which days of the week and which times on those days that you wish to connect to the Internet in order to receive Internet mail for the entire workgroup. For more information, see Setting Up Connection Information .
