    After many months of postie running smoothly… postie suddenly stopped Fetching emails every 5 minutes. I now have to Manually retrieve them for it to work.
    Any idea what may have changed or what I am doing wrong?
    Like I said… no setting were changed. Just stopped working with version #35 and above.
    Here are my settings:

    Thanks! –Reid

    Does it work if you pick a different interval?

    Have you installed Cron GUI to see if the cron is set up correctly?

    Have no idea what Cron is.
    It worked for a month+ with 5 min setting.

    I don’t believe so, pretty sure I tried… But will try again.

    It does work when I put it to 10 min!
    What do I need to do to make 5 min work?

    If you switch back to 5 min does it still work?

    Otherwise if you need a guaranteed 5 minute check I suggest using an external cron. https://postieplugin.com/forcing-an-email-check/

    The WordPress cron (which is what Postie relies on) works fine for many people, but occasionally doesn’t do things right or stops working altogether.

    Whatever you did with new update works like a charm.
    Thank you Wayne!

    I discovered with the help of another user that WP 3.5.1 has a slightly different page life-cycle that was preventing some of the custom cron schedules from being registered in time for other parts of the system to know about them. Now it does and everything should be happy again!
