    2. The suggested POP3 interval of 8 minutes should be the bare minimum and anything lower is strongly not recommended.
    3. To prevent excessive use a minimum of a 3 minute interval has been put into place. This minimum does not prevent you from making manual requests frequently and should not be done in accordance with Google's Terms of Service.
  5. Developer's Liability

  6. Donations
    1. Any donation from $1-1000000000 is acceptable and the upper bounds is most appreciated.

    3. Once a donation is given your script will be unlocked forever. You will never have to give another donation again; unless:
    4. If less than $1 is given the "Donation" link will not be removable and the developer, Daniel Slaughter, has the discretion to refund your Paypal account and re-disable your settings pane.
    5. In the event less than $1 is given as a Donation then a new enforced minimum of $2 is required to remove the Donation link for insulting the developer and infringing Paypal fees upon him since you obviously didn't read the Terms of Service depicted here.
    6. All donations are final.
  7. Changes to these Terms
