I use GMail myself too Frank and never noticed this problem. What it could be though is a setting within the programme you use to get your email (which I'm presuming is Microsoft outlook or outlook express)? In general, these programmes are by default set-up to automatically check your mailbox for new messages every 30 minutes or so. This time interval is configurable, so you could have it check every 2 minutes if you wanted. Off the top of my head I think you can get at it through the tools menu. As an alternative, you can force outlook to send/receive all messages at any time by hitting either the f5 key (outlook express), or f9 (microsoft outlook 2003). These keystrokes will be different depending on which mail programme you're using. Best to try this, it'll save you the hassle of going through the complicated menu options. Hope this is useful.
