The mailQeueueProcess in ow_system_plugins/base/cron.php runs every 5 minutes. This means that password reset mails and verification mails can be pretty delayed. My site is rather small, I wonder why this is running not more often? Can I safely change it?

Bernd, you can change this 5 minute period in ow_system_plugins/base/cron.php. Please, have a look at this theme: http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/27940.

Thanks Taissa, I wish there where some generic mechanism to overwrite such changes without custom code changes but I will manage it. I guess for my case it is fine to reduce the interval.

I am running the php script as apache user with cron every minute, so this works already (thats why I was investigating why the mails are delyed so long).

Bernd, don't forget about hosting provider server limits. They have these limits, in order to prevent spam mailing. So even if you set cron to send emails every minute, you may exit the server limits and your account will be blocked as a spam account.

Thanks Taissa, in my case its not a problem since it is running on my own infrastructure. (and I added a comment in regards to limits to the older discussion)
