Email interval

With the default email client that comes with the E61, how do I set the email to check for email every 5minutes. The minimum time to select in the settings menu is 30mins.
 
I don?t have any E61 here now, but if I?m not mistaking that isn?t possible without installing some 3rd party applications such as Profimail that can be set to look after new e-mails more often then the native e-mail client.

I need to check more then just two Email addresses constantly. Is there a free program that will work with my E61 to allow me to check a handfull of different email address on a regular basis. Thanks in advance.
 
After much research I came to some conclusions on the options
a/ 3rd party applications: The only one avaliable for E61 is Profmail. Yes you can set the pull interval for any time. Problem is that you can't set your business works hours like the default E61 mail client. I only want mail pulled from 7-7pm M-F, once at home I check my mail from my computer. Secondly cos Profmail isn't directly connected to the OS, it doesn't share the alert settings, for instance if you are in meeting mode, it doesn't have vibrate alert.
b/ Push email: The problem with push email is you can't set business hours, so they keep pushing mail even when you don't want it.

In the end I have to live with the 30min interval. I don't know who came up with the idea in Symbian and why they can't change this.
 
Mail for Exchange allows you to set your peak time and only get email pushed during peak. Of course it only works with an Exchange back end so if you're not using Exchange you're SOL.

Mail for Exchange uses the default email client so it is fully integrated with the S60 UI.
