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

I have two email accounts set up on my phone. One with work emails and one with home/personal emails. I would like to have it set up so my home emails only download to my phone while I'm at work (say 8am-5pm) and my work emails only go to my phone during non-work times (say 5pm-7am).
Is there any way to make this possible? I hate sitting at work and having all the same emails filter onto my phone. Same with while I'm at home.
Thanks in advance.
You can set a sync schedule for Windows Live accounts for example.
You go to the Options of Windows Live and set it to sync as items arrive between XX:XX hour to XX:XX during the day.
I believe you can also set a sync schedule for your MS exchange server account. So those are 2 email accounts that I know you can define a sync schedule for.
So if you have one Windows Live and one POP3 email account, you could auto-forward the POP3 to your exchange, and set the exchange and Live accounts on different sync schedules.
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.
Hello All,
I have just purchased a HD2 and am very happy with the device. However I have a question which I can't seem to find an answer for anywhere!
I have a POP3 email account set up on the device which is set to send/receive every 5 minutes. It is set to sync using my WiFi connections both at home and at work and to use GPRS when I am not in range of one of my preferred networks. This works perfectly, however, I can not find any option to set a schedule for syncing like you can with Activesync, so I get woken up during the night if an email comes through.
Is there a hidden option somewhere to set on peak and off peak times for POP3 syncing like there is with Activesync?
Thanks
I figured out a workaround. I set up a gmail account and set it to automatically download the emails from my POP3 account. I then set up my HD2 to sync with Gmail via Activesync. All working perfectly now, except my replies come from my gmail account. Oh well.
Please reply if you have another solution!
Im using K9 email program for gmail account and Cox email account. If i have my phone on standby, I dont get any email notifications. Only time I get email is when i launch k9 and check email. Even if i set k9 to poll every minute, it still wont notify me. Gmail will work if I have sync on, but doesnt that drain battery, I shouldnt have to sync right...Gmail should push?
thanks
I have 3 gmail accounts in sync and i still get good battery life.
Hi,
I'm using the stock EMAIL app that comes on the phone (not sure if this is the stock Jelly bean app or a Samsung version). I'm using it because it works with my work's Exchange email/calendar nicely. I also have a Gmail account and my personal Email (my own website with email support) which is IMAP. The Exchange and Gmail seem to work fine. I have Exchange setup for push and I'll sometime get emails even before my desktop/Outlook see them. I don't use Gmail that much (only a couple emails a week) so I set it up to sync every 4 hours and that seems fine.
My personal IMAP account I get probably 30 email a day. I set up the program to sync every 10 minutes. It seems to just stop syncing for some reason I cant figure out. For example today, I received several emails overnight and a couple in the morning and the phone synced them fine. When I got to work and checked ~11am I had 5 messages waiting (using Thunderbird on my desktop) and when I checked the phone it didn't have them. If I go to the Inbox it says last sync was at 8:49am. The program will then do a sync and presto, all 5 messages popped up. But now all day the phone will not sync unless I go check my inbox which appears to force a sync.
So I know the information (account, password,..) are OK since it manually syncs no problem. I didn't try today but in the past if I change the sync interval to something else (5 or 15 minutes) it seems to sync for a while and then stop again. I tried deleting the account and then re-created it and that seemed to work for a while.
I have "sync while roaming set" and I do not set up a peak sync schedule so it should always be the same.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
