DeleGate does not initiate polling to any server.  It gateways a
request from a (HTTP) client to a (POP) server, when a client send
a request to DeleGate.  Thus the only way to poll a new email message
is doing "Reload" on a HTTP client (browser).

In a usual HTTP proxy with cache, reloading might be ignored if without
"Pragma", "Cache-control" or "If-Modified-Since" header.  But in the
case of POP over HTTP gateway, no cache is applied thus any reloading
by a client makes a poll to new message.

So the question could be "how often a user of browser pushes the reload
button".  If so, you can automatically do it adding "Refresh" header in
HTTP response message to let the browser do refresh automatically and
periodically.

Cheers,
Yutaka
