Requirements:

- jailbroken iPhone
- IMAP account (Google’s the best)
- OpenSSH installed on your phone
- WinSCP installed on your computer

So, let’s begin:

- Connect your iPhone to your access point via Wi-Fi
- make sure your computer is in the same network
- Open WinSCP and connect it to your iPhone

- to do so type in the IP of your iPhone within your network, starting with 168.192…, login: root and your password (alpine or dutty)

- after clicking Login you have to wait about 30 seconds if you use OpenSSH for the first time

- if this message appears just relax and keep waiting, it’s all fine!

- finally you should have access to your iPhones’ files

- if you are running 1.1.3 or newer copy this file to your computer:

/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mobilemail.plist

- if your iPhone is running an older version you should copy this file:

/var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mobilemail.plist

- Now switch over to this nice webpage >>click<<

- select the com.apple.mobilemail.plist file you’ve just copied to your computer, hit Convert on the webpage and finally save it back to your computer

- open the converted file with WordPad, Editor or just something else

- do you see the AutofetchInterval Key? Just change 15 to another integer like 1(=1 minute)

- save the file and send it to your iPhone via WinSCP

- Congratulation! You’re iPhone will now check your email every minute!

Note! If you go into Settings/Mail/Auto-Check in your iPhone, your iPhone willreset the interval to 15 minutes and you have to redo everything!
