[Ozymandius=girl]

try a text editor?

[DobyTheDoggy]

Worked for me! Great help thanks! I used a window based editor called AXE, followed your instructionas and BAM!

Question, can you set the string to 01 instead of 05??

[joejoeiphone1]

I know I'm not nuts.. the number 15 .. or any other recognizable time frame just isn't there.

how can I change the following to to a setting to check for mail every minute?

Convert the file with this first, then open with Wordpad :

thought I replied.. hope it didn't go through twice.. thanks!! this really worked in the editing process.. but, do I have to re-convert to put it on the phone? Or will the plist work in this form?

thanks again!!

No, you don't have to convert it back. Just put the converted/edited file on the phone.

[joejoeiphone1]

okay. .great.. got it back on there.. it's checked once.. sent another test message and it's been three minutes now.. and it hasn't checked again yet.. next potentially stupid question.. does the interval have to be two digits? e.g. 01 instead of 1?

is five the shortest time it can be set to?

thanks

I'm curious about this as well. I'd like to setup to check my pop account every minute.

[skitomcat1]

Is it possible to change it to 1 min or is that too little

actually the 5 minutes isnt working for me....I changed it and everything doesnt seem to work

[acaijr73]

Ive got the file modded already if any one would like it jus Pm me... Mines is modded to check every 5 mins i had it to check every min but thats a batt killer........

[JakSprats]

sorry stupid title ... but i cant edit it

i edited mine to 5 minutes saved, it worked once, and then the
<key>AutoFetchInterval</key>
<string>15</string>
got overwritten and it defaulted to Manual check ....

I used this script to check if anything has change
cd /private/var/mobile/Library/Mail; WAIT_TIME=10; while [ 1 ]; do OLD=`ls -l | sum`; sleep $WAIT_TIME ; NEW=`ls -l | sum`; if [ "$NEW" != "$OLD" ]; then echo "SOMETHING CHANGED"; else echo `date`" x"; fi; done

I think I can come up with a better solution to this, via shell script, this plist file is straight forward, easy to hack.

i wrote a script to simplify this, run in from iphone command line
* theory is, plist can be in ascii, so just fake it *

call it x.sh, do a chmod +x x.sh

where i wrote "you" below, put in your own email address...

then do the following

# cd /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences
# ./x.sh > com.apple.mobilemail.plist

(restart mail)
# ps ax |grep Mail |grep -v grep
5658 ?? S 0:08.90 /Applications/MobileMail.app/MobileMail
# kill 5658

will work .... if it gets overwritten, repeat

#!/bin/sh

DATE_STRING=`date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H":"%M":"%SZ`

hey guys...

to those of you having problems not being able to open the .plist files that are encoded in binary(meaning that it's a bunch of jumbled mess), go to this site:
Convert Apple Property list from binary to text XML
after saving the .plist file to your computer and open it using the browse button on that site, then hit convert and it will give you a new download with the readable version, then you can open it in anything, even notepad, and just put the new file back on the iphone(no re-encryption is necessary)
