6.5.2 Checking for new mail

By default, Pine automatically checks for new mail every 2.5 minutes (150 seconds). This interval is settable per user as the mail-check-interval configuration option (unless the system manager choose to fix its value in the PINE.CONF-FIXED file). You can also force a refresh of the folder by pressing the DOWN arrow key four times at the last message of the Index screen or by pressing CTRL/L. A folder is also refreshed whenever you expunge it. When you force a check, and you have no new mail, Pine will report the last message as new mail even though it is not new.
