SET CONTINUOUS-CHECK NO/yes - whether to check for new mail at all times
With the usual NO setting, a check for new mail is done only at Top-Level
(the MM> prompt), and not in Read or Send modes. The check is done after
each Top-Level command, and, when idle at Top Level, at the interval set
by CHECK-INTERVAL.
The purpose of setting CONTINUOUS-CHECK to NO is to avoid interrupting
reading and sending with the announcement about new mail and the pause
while it is saved.
If you change it to YES, the check is done in READ and SEND MODES just as
at Top-Level, that is, after each command and, when idle, at the interval
set by CHECK-INTERVAL.
