Is there any software (option) that gives off-peak option for automatic email checking?
By default it is possible to put only the interval in which it will check for new emails, but it is a bit annoying during night hours...

There are a lot of POP3 notifiers for Windows.
Is there any POP3 notifier for the HTC Universal?
Here is what features interest me:
- check POP3 every X minutes (configurable delay) using minimal data transfer
- if I get mail from certain contacts (configurable), the program should ring and vibrate and show a notification
- start on startup, run all the time, but only check POP3 between configurable hours
Is there any program like this available?
I know that "push email" exists, but I hate Exchange, and I want to use my own POP3 (GMAIL) account without passing through an unreliable piece of software such as Exchange.
Thank you.
Well you could create a new mail (mail2) account that only checks for new mails.
Set it to : (Under Options)
1/3) Connect and check for messages every : Your interval
3/3) "Get message headders only", and disable message body
Sound And Notifications -> Notifications: New e-mail message
Set it to play sound and what other settings you wish.
If you then get a mail on your mail2 account that you would like to read, just switch to your Mail1 account, and recive it there
Should/could work even though it dossent do all that you want it to!
Thank you. This is a very interesting method.
I can do something like:
- forward mail from certain contacts, from GMail account 1 (main account) to account 2
- use the checking you described on account 2
This is very interesting.
It's true that this method does some data transfer, but so does "push email" - it sends the so-called "pulse" to the server periodically.
I'm surprised that no company has done their own "push mail" and stuff. These things are quite simple to program. If only I could get used to Visual C++ again...
I am having difficulties with e-mail notifications.
It seems that my Cingular 8525 really wants me to read my e-mail. I have 2 e-mail accounts 1 directpush, 1 pop3.
The directpush account doesn't seem to have an issue, but the pop3 account does. The notifications will continue to pop-up once every 15 minutes or so. If I dismiss the notification, it will continue to pop up. If I mark the mail as read, the notification pop-ups stop. Any ideas? I think that there is a utility to clear out the notification que, but will I have to run this every time I get mail? That doesn't make sense to me.
The other problem is the Pop3 (I EDIT THIS POST TO REMOVE DIRECTPUSH AND ADD POP3, it is pop3 that is getting mail all night) schedule. My phone doesn't seem to want to follow my schedule, I have it set to start at 7:00am and end at 7:00pm. But I can hear it getting e-mail all night long..... kind of annoying. I finally have turned off the notification sounds, but that too doesn't make sense.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi all,
I know that i can manage my sync times for hotmail by going
start>messaging>menu>options>hotmail>sync schedule
so i can basically only get my hotmail emails during the day, or when i want them, but there doesn't seem to be a similar option with outlooks direct push.
just wondering is it a possibility, or am i missing something simple?
many thanks
The reason why you can choose not to sync during the night with your hotmail is because you need to check periodically if there is new mail on hotmail, thus using the internet connection regularly.
Push mail works the other way around: whenever the server gets a message, it will contact your device and tell it that there's new mail.
I think that for stopping Pushmail from sending you mails at night you need to change a serverside setting, because it is the server that does the work.
thank you very much for your help mate
i'm with you now!
You can set the schedule of your Exchange email by going to Programs > ActiveSync> Menu > Schedule
In Schedule you can set how often to sync for peak and off-peak times, so what you would probably want to do is set your off-peak times to "Manually" or "Every 4 hours" etc.
At the bottom of the page there is a link that directs you to the page of adjusting the Peak Times.
Hope this helps you.
Cheers

Sorry but that's wrong.
Hotmail is now pushed to WM6.1 phones when you use the Live Wizard to set it up. (Other webmail emails will need a 3rd party app).
If your Outlook is Exchange Push, then you should have the same settings for both.
good afternoon,
does anybody allready has an app for configurating the peak hours for receiving mail?? i got a pop3 account, a hotmail account, an exchange account and gmail account, but i can only set the interval at 1hr max, and that for 24hrs. offcourse i can manually disable the synchronisation, but i rather had a tool like on my win mob 6.5 where i can set peak hrs and off hrs where i can get the mail manually.
Sounds like a job for Tasker?
I use Touchdown
My question is that I want mail from hotmail to sync every half hour (aka 30min).
it says "inbox check frequency: every 30minutes". Or if I click on inbox and go to Sync Options, it says "Check Frequency: 30minutes".
-- Yet the second I get an email I get a mail notification...
Does anyone know what I have to change to make it sync every 30min instead of push?
(or if there's another setting that controls that behaviour, as I do not use an alternate hotmail app or anything like it)
Suggestions are welcome!
[I searched this thread and several others but haven't come across a question like this]
Mine have 3 Hotmail accounts. 2 for one hour and one for push, no problem for all.
I was having this same issue with the stock email. No matter what I selected for the interval it pushed the emails. I just started using enhanced email again and that solved it
Thanks for those comments but is there anyone who has a solution to the stock email and how to put it on intervals (so that it actually works on interval too)?
