Go to Messaging > Menu Button > Delivery Preferences > Check box to connect and check for messages > Change interval to 30 minutes.

I have it like that... it just doesnt do it.

for some reason, MS made it so that if the email box you're wanting to get messages for every ___ minutes isn't the active inbox when you close messaging (i.e. - when you click the 'x' in the upper right corner, your charter.net email has to be open, not text messages, hotmail, or any other inboxes) it will not auto-poll. seems like bad planning to me. perhaps that'll be something they 'fix' in the upcoming software update??? :redface:

So, instead of sitting on the today screen I should sit at that mailbox?

you don't have to sit in the mail box, but you have to make sure that your charter.net email box was the last mail box open when you close the messaging app....so if you're on the today screen and you click on the 'messaging' action key and your charter.net email box comes up, you've done it right ...hope this helps

To my surprise, it's already there. Just click on the green icon above Kevin's username. If you rollover, you'll see add to reputation.
