How do i make the computer check for new mail every two/three minutes or so. I'm not great on computers so please explain in the simplest terms possible. Thanks

Hi and welcome to D-A-L

If you're using Outlook Express, open it go Tools>> Options>>General>> you should see check fo new messages every 30 minutes just change the 30 to 2 minutes

Tried that as i'm using e-mail through the internet (Microsoft Outlook Web Access - Microsoft Internet Explorer. Go to tools but only get Internet options(delete cookies etc.)

Try getting Gmail; afterwards you can download Gmail Notifier, which I think notifies you after a few seconds of recieving an email.

I am unfamiliar with this product but did find this in searching:

Setting the refresh rate You can use the Settings option to set the refresh rate of the queues. For detailed instructions, see How to Modify Queue Viewer Refresh Rate Settings.

These may only be Adminstrative settings from the Server ... I am not sure

I've never implemented Outlook Web Access but I understand that it allows you to see your emails on your company's email server (Microsoft Exchange) by using a web browser such as Internet Explorer. In that case, you don't actually have an email program - you're just viewing a web page. Most web-based email such as Hotmail, etc. will need you to use Internet Explorer's Refresh button in the toolbar (or press [F5] on the keyboard) or there may be a link titled 'Refresh', 'Reload', 'Check for new messages', etc.

Hope that helps
