# Automatically check for new mail

If you want Evolution to check automatically for new messages, enable the option Check for new messages every … minutes in the Receiving Options page of the mail account settings (accessible via Edit Preferences Mail Accounts Edit Receiving Options) and select the frequency in minutes.

Evolution supports IMAP IDLE on the currently selected folder and partially supports the IMAP NOTIFY extension.
