 * I’m developing a plugin that uses wp schedule event, but I can’t get it to fire.
   Here’s my code:
 *     ```
       function more_reccurences() {
       return array(
       'everyminute' => array('interval' => 60, 'display' => 'Once Every Minute'),
       );
       }
       add_filter('cron_schedules', 'more_reccurences');
   
       register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'mails_activation');
       add_action('mail_event', 'check_for_mails');
   
       function mails_activation() {
       	wp_schedule_event(time(), 'everyminute', 'mail_event');
       }
   
       function check_for_mails() {
       	global $wpdb;
   
       	$message = "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3";
       	$message = wordwrap($message, 70);
       	mail('caffeinated@example.com', 'My Subject', $message);
   
       }
       ```
