Hey guys!
I've recently linked my pop mail with gmail account and I'm not happy with the frequency of fetching mails from pop server. As I've read - gmail calculates how often you receive mail and decides how frequent to check. Rule of a thumb is that if you receive your mail every 10 mins - it will check every 5 minutes.
I would like to make a mailing bot which would send email to my pop account every 15 mins, so that gmail would check it every 7 mins and then I could filter those messages in gmail out and delete them.
This is the php script uploaded to my server
and this is a cron job that I've entered in my cpanel:
Hosting support says that cron runs normally but I am not getting any emails from it. Only way I can get it to send an email is by visiting mail.php link in my browser.
Any help would be appreciated
