I tried the auto settings, and it won't work for my situation.  These
are low traffic accounts, and I usually only check them once a day at
claws-mail startup, and then shut down claws unless I want to send an
email. If I set them to short interval, they repeat many times, while I
am reading.  If I set long interval, they don't run early enough, and I
have to fetch them manually anyway.  Oh, well, it isn't such a
hardship.  I can live with it.

For some reason, the message from Marco below didn't show up in my
inbox, I found it on the web archive, so I am replying to it here.

I have attached a file with some failures.
