I have 2 accounts set up as pop3 accounts through gmail and there are times when it hasn't checked them for 40-50 minutes. How can I convince gmail to do this more often and regularly?

I've looked everywhere in settings.

The only way to make it happen quicker is if you manually choose to fetch the mail.

Sorry, but you cannot do it. The frequency is set automatically, and adjusted by the system on the basis of the amount of mail that arrives. If you generally don't get much mail, then gmail checks less often. I wish I could help more.
