you can use timer. using timer schedule task @ regular intervals.

  timer timer = new timer();   long interval = (10*60*1000) ; // 10 minutes    timer.schedule( new timertask() {        public void run() {           receivemailpop3.doit();        }   }, 0, interval);  

if want stop scheduling, can use timer.cancel();

one more point worth noting : if receivemailpop3.doit(); start @ 12:00 , takes 9 minutes execute, next execution of receivemailpop3.doit(); @ 12:19 because timer wait interval amount of time between each execution. if want execute @ at 10 minutes without caring previous execution, have use timer.scheduleatfixedrate
