Void mains

Question

Please help, I have just about had enough of this code for my lifetime.
I am trying to get a timer running in the background that fires an event every minute.
I had the code:
public class Apl
    public static void main(String argv[])
        boolean gui = true;
        int portNum = 110;
        //server object
     POP3Server server;
        //user mailset
        Set mailSet = new HashSet();
        .  //does some stuff
}So i try and modify it to do this
e.g
public class Apl
    public static void main(String argv[])
        boolean gui = true;
        int portNum = 110;
        //server object
     POP3Server server;
        //user mailset
        Set mailSet = new HashSet();
        .  //does some stuff
        TimerTask fetchMail  = new FetchMail();
        Timer timer = new Timer();
        timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(fetchMail, 1, 10000);
    public class FetchMail()
        System.out.println("HI");
}In the hope it would print HI every 10 seconds. But no.
Any ideas? Thanks

Still having problems with this timer. I have had a rethink about what I want to do with it and am still having problems.
private String makeMailDrop()
        String users = "";
        String thisLine;
        //DOES SOME STUFF HEREThen from another class
public POP3Server(int port, POP3ServerFrame frame, Set mailSet)
         //vars
          this.port = port;
          this.frame = frame;
          this.mailSet = mailSet;
          gui=true;
                uidlArr = new String[100];
                counter = 1;
          //timer
          //makeTimer();
          output("Initializing..this may take a while..\n");
                output("Welcome To Highway42 POP3 Server. \n\n");
                makeMailDrop();
                TimerTask loopMD = makeMailDrop();
                Timer timer = new Timer();
                timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(loopMD, 1, 10000);The problem being that the types are different, loopMD is a TimerTask and I am trying to assign it to a methiod that returns a string.
so I tried TimerTask loopMD = makeMailDrop();and then it says it cant find makeMailDrop().
How would I implement this so on the timer it runs makeMailDrop()
Thanks
