Auto-check for emails?

Hi.
I was just wondering if it is at all possible to set my Mail program up to check my email for me at certain time intervals.
I'm in college and it'd be nice if I was able to have my email automatically checked for me, as I tend to get busy and forget to check it myself.
Today actually our campus was closed due to snow, but unfortunately I didn't think to check my email otherwise I would have found out before attempting to go to class.
So...can I do this?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You can set the interval in Mail's Preferences under 'General'.

Auto checking for email

Hi all and happy new year. My mail app used to check automatically for new mail at 1minute and up to 1hour intervals but now it doesn't, I have to do it manually. Any suggestions gratefully acknowledged

Assuming you still have your preferences set to check for new mail at your desired interval, perhaps Mail has taken your mail server offline. Check your mailbox drawer for a circle icon with a squiggly line through it. If Mail has taken that account offline it won't check for new mail until you enable it again.

How can I set up auto respond for email

How can I set up auto respond for email?

Hey there jimmac169,
It sounds like you want to have the Mail app automatically reply to emails that come in. You can do this in the app itself, but in order for the function to work, Mail needs to be open. Take a look at this info from the following article:
Mail (Yosemite): Reply to, forward, or redirect messages
Automatically reply to or forward messages
Mail must be open before it can automatically forward or reply to messages. If you want to send automatic replies when Mail isn’t open—like when you’re on vacation—check with the provider of your email account.
Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Rules.
Click Add Rule, then type a name for the rule.
Indicate whether any or all of the conditions must be true for the rule to be applied.
Set the conditions that determine which messages to automatically reply to or forward.
Choose options from the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu.
Forward messages: Choose Forward Message from the first pop-up menu, then enter the email addresses where you want to receive the forwarded messages. Click Message, then enter any text you want to include with the forwarded message. For example, you could explain that you’re automatically forwarding messages.
Reply to messages: Choose “Reply to Message” from the first pop-up menu, click “Reply message text,” then enter your reply. Mail includes the full text of the original message in your reply.
Click OK.
Carefully consider the rules you create. If they’re too broad, messages can be sent inadvertently or create loops (replies to replies you sent). If possible, test the rules.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

Hi SandyS_VZW,
Yes tried resetting the wifi connection and problem still persist.
Here it is...to make it clear. Connected thru the same wifi at home...
-> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook WEBSITES are working fine and fast when using/accessing thru a browser (chrome/samsung browser) - no problem with this.
-> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook APP is soooooo sloooww (thru the App). Slow I mean comparing it to using their browser/websites... news feeds/emails refreshing so quickly but not when using the APP installed in Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Slow like - It will take around 5-10minutes just to get your emails and news feed refreshed.
THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN CONNECTED THRU A WIFI which has a speed of 10-20mb. It is not happening when connected to the network data/plan.
My wife has the same Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (coming from different provider at&t) - same setup (emails, fb app), same wifi connection, but she's not experiencing anything like it.
Not sure why, I dont want to believe that while connected to a WIFI, Verizon is restricting anything and ******* me off to make me switch to my data plan connection everytime - which is Unfair!
Was there a known issue similar about this case?
thanks,

How can i prevent my C3 to check for email automat...

I have a C3 and am using it for email. I have set up my hotmail and google mail account.
Every day at 9:00 my phone checks for email automatically That is no what I want. I only want it to check for messages when I ask for it. i have a plan with a fixed amount per day, regardless how much I use it.
So the automatic check for email says to my provider "you can charge this phone for the day". And that is not what I want if I do not intend to use the phone for the rest of the day.
Where can I set that automatic checking for messages is turned off.
Thanks,
Herbert

Which C3 to be clear,you could always just turn off the data,or go tru the email settings,there is where to change this.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Can my mail automatically check for emails?

can my iphone mail automatically check for emails without having to open the mail app. i remember before the update there was an option where it would check every 15 minutes. what ever happened to that? is there another way to do it? thanks in advance!

Depending on your Mail client ie MobileMe/Yahoo/Gmail you can either set up push which is great or failing that set up fetch mail where it checks at certain intervals look in:
Settings>Fetch New Data>
clicking on the Mail app does a check each time you open it, setting fetch/push means it will either have the mail sent to your phone(Push) or go out and "fetch" the mail without you having to manually do it.

Where is the auto check for Mail?

Before the 2.0 update, I could set the Mail app for auto check every 30 minutes or so, not in 2.0, I cannot find this option any more. Can I still make this setting somewhere?
André

The setting is in Settings > Fetch New Data. Set Fetch to 30 min (other options are 15 min and hourly).
You'll want Push set to OFF, unless you have a need for it and your email account supports it (MobileMe, Yahoo, or an MS Exchange server do); push uses a lot of battery power, so if you don't have a need for it, leave it off.
Hope this helps...

Auto fetch for Emails?

Hello everyone,
I received my iPhone 3G last week and have been busy setting up. Under Settings > Fetch New Data > Fetch: I have selected 'Every 15 Minutes'.
This worked the first day I tried it, but doesn't seem to be working anymore. Mail is not automatically searching for emails every 15 minutes. I have to manually launch Mail in order for it to check for new emails.
Any advice on what I could be doing wrong ?

Mail? How to set auto check for new mail?

Ok, I want to be able to turn on my mac, and whenever a new mail arrives it play a sound or pop up etc..
Now I made the setting in mail Preferences>General>Check for new mail every 5 min, and I tested by sending myself a email, but it didn't make any notify sounds or anything..
So my question is do I have to open Mail at startup for this to be able to work? "Open at login" or any other ?
Thanks
Message was edited by: nubbic

To start Mail automatically, go to System Prefs>Accounts. Highlight your account then click on the login items tab. Add Mail to the list.
As for sounds, that is under the Mail prefs. Make sure your sound is turned up.

Frequency of checking for email

After setting up our email accounts on the Droid, I found the Email settings screen where you can select Email Delivery>>Fetch Schedule. Two questions:
(1) Does "Fetch schedule" mean how frequently the Droid checks for new emails on the mail server? (dumb question, but I wanted to make sure)
(2) If so, it looks like the shortest frequency you can select is 15 minutes. We would like to have it check every minute or less. Is there any way to do that?
Thanks
Tom G

Question 1, Yes, the Droid will pull down Email every 15 minutes (or depending on the time you set).
Question 2. No, 15 minutes is the fastest. You would not want Droid to pull down Email every minute, because you will be recharging your battery about every hour. Remember, you are using battery strength every time Droid scans for new Email.

Checking for email but not connecting

When I check for new emails it continuously checks but doesn't pull them up

Did you try the Apple suggestions of turning off "Ask to join networks" and turn screen brightness down? This helped us with most of our WiFi issues. Interesting though, is that I have the opposite problem. My Internet access is fine, but I can't get email with the iPad email app. I took it to the Apple store and my email worked great, got back home and just "spinning" with no response.
