It uses fetchmail. You need to reconfigure fetchmail to fetch the mail
every 15 minutes or so. This can be done in two ways, wich might depend
on the SUSE version you have and your configuration up till this moment.

The first is if your fetchmailconfig is a generic one and resides in
/etc/fetcchmail. Then the best thing is to add fetchmail in your
startup. YaST -> System -> System Services (Runlevel) and add it in 3
and 5.

The other is if you have the configfile in your user directory. Just add
it to crontab.

The first method is prefered.
