There is a POP (hotmail) account that I have to watch and save every email as soon as they arrive. I could do this by checking them every 5 minutes and downloading them.
But what application can do this?
(There is a server I could use 24-7 for this purpose.)
OS: Linux - Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 i386
The server is mine, full root, etc.
Apache

With unix You can use fetchmail for this purpose and set up a cron task to fetch your mail on schedule.
man fetchmail:
fetchmail(1) fetchmail reference manual fetchmail(1)
NAME
fetchmail - fetch mail from a POP, IMAP, ETRN, or ODMR-capable server
SYNOPSIS
fetchmail [option...] [mailserver...]

What OS? Do you need the app running in the background? Save the mails where? Because e.g. under Windows you can tell an open Outlook Express to retrieve every x time... – Jan Doggen – 2012-10-16T12:29:10.597
