Email doesn't check every 60 minutes as its supposed to

I had this problem with my previous Pocket PC phones but never found a fix for it. My inbox (aka Messaging) is set to 'Connect and check for messages every 60 minutes'. Unfortunately, it does not check every hour but maybe once every few hours.
I am using SPB Pocket Plus and set the Messaging to exept from closing - so the Messaging is always up and running.
Anyone have some ideas or fix to this? My old Treo 600 was extremely reliable when it came to checking for emails every hour.
Also, does anyone know if I can change the interval from 60 minutes to 90 instead?
Thanks.

I 've noticed that too. The fact is, that if you have more then one accounts in the messaging, and you always do in fact, since ActiveSnc and SMS is always there. The software only checks email in certain interval when the appropriate account is active. So, for exmple if you have sent SMS to someone and this profile is active when you close or minimize Messaging, it will NOT check another email account

Scheduled email check period...too short.

As far as I can tell, maximum configurable interval between schduled email send/recieve is 99 minutes.
However, thats miles too often for me...is there some reg hack that enables me to enter a period in hours?

…and is it possible to setup off peak hours? It is a bit annoying that it checks for emails in the middle of the night… :?

Is it possible to use an alternative email package?

active sync "As items arrive" while charging

is there any way to have push email enabled only while on charging/pluged in? I have a touch diamond and when I have it set at every 15 minutest, and auto disconect after 2 mins, I get amazing battery life, easily 2 days... but it would be nice if I would get emails immediately while not needing to save battery...
what do you guys think?
edit: BTW I am using mobipush, they recently added html, and special character support, so its the best solution for free push email!!! IMHO

Synchronizing with >3000 appointments and contacts takes forever

hi,
i have a colleague who also has a touch hd and over 3000 contacts and appointments in his outlook.
the synchronizing takes forever and doesnt even come to the end after several hours. he left the hd over night and the next morning it wasnt finished.
does anybody have that much contacts or appointments?
it think it should be possible to use the hd with these amount of items.
he cant possibly be the only person who has his customers and businesspartners in his outlook(?!).
with me the sync takes quite long too.
when the calendar is synced it updates the appointments "xx/yy" and after that the synchronisation stays and takes a few minutes.
how about you?

Only the first sync takes so long. I also have in excess of 3000 items to synchronize (about 300 contacts, 2800 appointments, tasks, etc). It took about three and an half hours (!), but now syncs in about 30 seconds. So no, I don't think this is unreasonable at all; there should however be a warning for the user to wait this long (as there is hardly any indication that synchronisation is actually progressing). The same number of items only took about 10 or so minutes on a PPC (Loox 560) that I had before HD. It only takes a couple of minutes on a Nokia 6500 dumbphone though. Sigh. Well, we all know that AS actually stands for ActiveStink(tm).
Cheers,
Rok

How to Increase Synchronisation Speeds
Hi Guys
I had the same problem. The way around this is to disable your Touchflo 3d from the today screen.
I was then able to sync with for the first time with outlook over 5,000 calendar appointment and over 1200 contacts in about 30 mins. After that "daily" syncs should only take 30 seconds to a minute.
Hope this helps
Kaid

ah, great tip. i will try that.
do you deactivate the tf3d for the daily syncs too?

Works 100%. Struggled with that for days, solved now. Thanks m8!

works really great!
that is awesome!.
i am so glad you told me.
by the way: is there a way to disable the tf3d calendar?
i think that should be the problem. disabling the calendar should solve it.

Try removing home tab in customisation options. It should help.

not possible

Messaging (IMAP) makes lots of traffic!!!

A lot depends on what settings you did in poutlook.
