Add: "set daemon 180" to your .fetchmailrc file.

Well I finally got fetchmail working but now I am confused.. I would
like to poll my ISP for mail every 3 or so minutes. I have checked out
the fetchmail FAQ and only see the POLL command but when I check out the
example it just shows how to set up the account to poll, not the rate.

How to I tell fetchmail to connect to my ISP every and retrieve the mail
at regular intervals ?

I am using fetchmail with webmin but I have found it difficult to deal
with and I would rather just go in and change .fetchmailrc. Webmin is
nice but it does not appear to offer you all the options as if you were
editing the file on your own.

Thanks,
Rich
