Perhaps once a month or once every other month, I am on the telephone
with a party who is sending me an email, typically with an attachment.
And typically I have been "on hold" on the phone for a half hour to
reach that individual.  So the other guy says, "I just sent the
message; tell me when you receive it."  And I must reply, "My system
checks for new messages only every three minutes."

And then three minutes pass as we discuss the weather, and still the
message has not arrived.  So the other guy sends the message again,
and we wait another three minutes, and sometimes longer.  For some
reason, messages from one of the larger domain registration outfits
routinely take twelve hours to reach me; that was the case two or
three times within the past few months.

So in such instances, it would be nice to check for new mail once a
minute.  Even better would be a check made immediately upon demand; I
know how to do that, and I have done it before.  But most of the time,
a check every half hour would be adequate.
