Add option to change fetching interval

[Diogo Almeida]

I don't know if it's a bug or a wishlist post (it depends whether or not it was an intended feature for this release) but I sure miss a lot an option to regulate the time intervals for the auto-refresh feature, so that I'm aware of new mails as they arrive.

Postler should check every 10 minutes for new mail and use notifications as usual if there are new messages. Does this happen?

[Diogo Almeida (digalmeda)]

Yes, it does check for messages, my fault. But it only displays a bubble for gmail, and it doesn't use the message menu, as it does for the other accounts, but I already filled a bug for that. Still, it's a shame there's no option to set the refresh time interval.

At the moment,the only way is to change it in the code and then building postler with the changed interval.
If you downloaded the source code, you can do it at line 97 in the postler-service.vala file,changing
         int interval = 600;
to whatever interval you like (in seconds,so 600 would be 10 minutes).

Ok, thanks! By the way, where can I get info on commiting fixes to a given project?
