What problem is this patch trying to fix?
Each connection will upload all pending new messages, not just one, so even if the operator manages to send & receive multiple messages in a minute, they'll all be backed up promptly.
Reducing the repeat period to close to (or shorter than) the duration of a deposit-only IMAP session (typically 3-30 seconds) seems likely to cause more trouble than it fixes. Not least, it will keep the phone awake and drain the battery.
I suggest that such very short periods be accompanied by text explaining these risks to the user.

@kurahaupo My use case here is that I have a phone left home and I want to receive the message instantly. The phone is always plugged in charge so battery is not an issue. Another app called pushbullet can get this job done but I prefer setup the middle mail server myself because of privacy concern and I can do extra control on the message with python. |
two more shorter time interval options for faster auto backup of incoming message.
