Can someone please suggest a webmail that is able to check a POP every 5 minutes?

Thanks for the reply
Yahoo doesn't seem to want to take it straight to the inbox after logging on.
Their login will be saved to the browser, I need something they can access with two clicks(including the login).

I'm not sure I'm understanding the issue here. Why does their email need to update every five minutes, is this elderly couple receiving C-level executive amounts of email and need to respond that quickly?
Every single webmail provider automatically refreshes the inbox pretty frequently, and I don't think you're going to get a lot of free email services that allow you to make receive requests from third party clients as often as every 5 minutes.
You could always get them the personal level Office 365 subscription. $7 a month gets them the full Office suite (Outlook included), and one exchange mailbox with support for activesync to 1 phone and 1 tablet. Exchange pushes email as soon as it comes in and Outlook is literally a double click for them to open.

Seems like an email client would be better than having to use web mail. Maybe setup email hosting with their own domain or simply use GMAIL. I get my emails pretty instantly through outlook and on my phone using Yahoo and Gmail.
What are they connecting to with a VPN?

What do you mean only updates every 53 minutes? So if you send the gmail account an email it takes 53 minutes to arrive? Every online email account I have updates almost the instant the email is sent. If I send something from yahoo to gmail it's typically there in less than 10-20 seconds.
The exception would be my email clients like Outlook which has a 5 minute send/receive timer.

Yup. I can watch someone send me a mail, and I get a notification almost immediately.
email clients are useless on this VPN, they can receive but not send, I have tried and gotten their clients whitelisted but it only lasts a couple of days at most
and 53 minutes is just an average, thats's what gmail tells me it last checked for email inbox, and if you want it to check again right away you have to do it manually under settings/accounts which is also where I am getting the 53 sometimes it is more like 23 minutes, the point is is that it doesn't check for emails fast enough

Is that because they are using a VPN?
I just logged into my Gmail account & i was getting internet activity about 3 times a minute. I assumed it was auto-refreshing.
I didn't see a proper refresh button with the regular interface but with the old one(basic or HTML...whatever it's called) there is a refresh button at the top of the page.
no they are not on the VPN yet
gmail would be ideal if it refreshed properly
every time I check it on their computer through settings/accounts/check mail now it shows that a long time has gone by without checking the mail
sending mails is instant

That sounds like a browser problem, something is preventing it from auto-refreshing (are they using windows XP with IE8 or something?)
The actual Gmail service does not behave that way.
I also still don't see what this VPN is for or where it fits into the picture.
Have you tried logging into their gmail account from a different PC to see if it does the same thing there?
yes I tried to log into their account from my PC and the same thing is occurring. It can't be MailWasher Pro because it has to be webmail otherwise the VPN gets blacklisted by the ISP.
We have tried Thunderbird and other clients with the VPN enabled, we had to contact the VPN people every few days to get their email whitelisted again.
If I could only get gmail to work on theirs (it does the same on my IMAP accounts too) then that would be ideal. And yes I have tried it without the VPN and it does the same thing.

Just out of curiosity, do the say why the email gets blacklisted?
Most ISP now have the option for user authentication on the sending side, have you looked into this as well?
For example in my area, if I use ISP1 email servers, it would not send if i am connected to ISP2 unless I have the user authentication turned on. When its on I can send and receive with no issues.

Gmail updates from third party pop email accounts based upon the frequency of the mail received. If the pop account gets email frequently then gmail will pull it more frequently.
Gmail also will do a pop update if the refresh button is clicked on.

gmail on my PC does NOT do an IMAP update if the refresh button is applied or clicking inbox, it still says mail was last checked 21 minutes ago.
So wait, rereading the thread it sounds like you're not using an actual Gmail email account to send/receive, but are using Gmail as the client and adding an *external* POP/IMAP account to be checked through Gmail via the Mail Fetcher feature?
In that case, we need to be looking at the external email service, not Gmail.

I've tried outlook.com-they only download the spam folder
I've tried yahoo.com- no where can I find an option to add a pop or imap account anywhere
what else is there?
