Setting email checks to fixed times in a whole workgroup would certainly make 
your sysadmin kill you ;-) Usually you have synchronized clocks in a 
workgroup environment and thus the email checks would produce very high 
traffic and load on the server. People would soon complain about the slow 
server.

But your point is very valid and I agree with you. Though as a simple solution 
I'd change the default values. I also like the work modes suggested by 
Friedrich.

A note about my own setting: Emails are checked every 10 minutes and no popup, 
sound or similar. 

Greetings,
eva
