Hi everybody!

Certain automated medical emails received at random from one of my patients
are extremely time-sensitive. Ideally, I need an e-mail program that checks
for messages every 15 seconds.

Outlook Express, as well as most other third party email programs, can only
be set to a minumum of checking every 1 minute.

Does anybody know of a program that will check at an interval less than 1
minute?

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,
TankGirl

In theory, you can set OE to poll ever 500th of a second! - but I wouldn't
ry
it
Close OE and open Regedit
You need to change the data for the following registry key.....
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{Your Identity}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\5.0\Mail\Poll For Mail

If you open the value, you'll get the option to view the Data as Decimal or
Hex - choose Decimal, and set it to 15000 - save and exit regedit.
open OE, and youshould find it now polls every 15 seconds

HTH - but keep an eye on it!!

If these messages have to do with a medical condition or medical treatment I
would not trust them to e-mail. The internet mail system is not sufficiently
robust for such critical communication. Even if you found an email program
that checked for mail every 0.15 seconds, mail servers go down, ISPs
experience problems and the internet itself is subject to countless snafus.

You are not going to find anything to do what you want.

Probably the best bet would be to use instant messaging but then even
instant messaging isn't going to work that fast with a direct connection
because you would have to take the time to input the data then send.

No email program will do that. Also, if one were capable of doing it,
that is the only function that your computer would be capable of, as
before it could reliably download a message, another mail poll would
begin. This would make both your computer and your email server
useless.

You need to use something other than email for this and I can't tell exactly
what. Is this readings from an intsrument? If so, contact the instrument
manufacturer. I suspect that it will require a dedicated computer.

Change the following in your Registry.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{nnnnnnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnnnnnnnnn}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\5.0\Mail]
"Poll For Mail"=dword:00003a98

In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, select the radio button Decimal Under
Base and enter 15000, which I believe is 15000 milliseconds, the equivalent
to 15 seconds.

It will show zero in options, but I timed it and it worked.

Your ISP will probably excommunicate your for a TOS violation!
