I am using GMail to collect mails from other non-Google email accounts. It turned out that GMail uses its own rules to check new mails in these external accounts. This does not happen in real time or at least periodically with the required frequency (say, every 1 or 2 minutes). Even the Refresh button above the mail list does not help if I want to check mails manually. To nudge GMail to check emails in external accounts, I open its Settings (first Quick Settings, then All settings, then open the Accounts and Import tab, and finally click the Check mail now link in the Check mail from other accounts: section.

My questions:

  1. Is there any setting that makes the Refresh button work for external accounts?

  2. How to set the desired frequency of checking mails in external accounts from GMail?
