Opera mail doesn't auto check

I just changed my email account from manual to check every 5 minutes, but nothing happens. Any idea how to troubleshoot this?

Sorted it myself. It seems you have to do one manual check before the auto one kicks in.

@hucker Weird. You shouldn't have to do that. Opera should check for new mail on startup after N seconds according to the Initial Poll Delay for the account in accounts.ini in the mail folder. Then, Opera should check every N seconds according to the Poll Interval setting in accounts.ini. You shouldn't have to do a manual check to get those started.

If that's what you have to do though, I don't have a solution besides checking the settings in accounts.ini while Opera is closed.

@burnout426 I haven't closed Opera. I changed the setting and it didn't take effect. Maybe a restart would have sorted it as did a manual check.

Kinda like the Task Scheduler in Windows. It needs a trigger first before the repeat delay starts, very annoying.
