Oh. Sorry misread you. Incoming email also runs on a schedule. Most sites use a mailbox that gets checked every 5 minutes or whatever interval.

There is also [Straightforward direct-delivery incoming mail](https://meta.discourse.org/t/straightforward-direct-delivery-incoming-mail/49487) which is a bit trickier to set up.
