Timing

The program will automatically check for new messages every n minutes, where the user selects n. If n is zero, it will not check automatically. The timer is off when the Retrieve form is shown. While you are downloading and processing messages, you can press Get to get new messages at any time. Otherwise, while examining the email database or doing other things, if new email comes in, this will appear in the status bar, and sound the bell. If the program is minimized, the title will change to 'NEW EMAIL!', and appear with a dark color, so that you can quickly see that you have new mail.
