I use GMail to check a couple of my POP3 accounts.  Gmail checks those accounts as infrequently as one hour.  When I'm on my laptop I just manually force GMail to check, but when I'm on my phone or tablet I don't have that option.  Is there an Ap or a work around that I might use?

GMail tends to settle on POP3 checking on about twice the frequency that it finds mail in the account  in question,with the minimum frequency of one hour.  A Couple years ago, I wound up using  a Google Apps script to generate and send email  to the other accounts on schedule so that my primary Gmail account would pump up its checking to twice an hour.  It wound up being written up in a Lifehacker article.

 

In retrospect, that was kind of crazy.

 

If you can set up your other accounts to auto-Forward your email to your GMail account, I'd really recommend doing that.

 

If you want to try the crazy method...
