Outlook sync times

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.

Setting schedule for POP3 Email Send/Receive

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!

Accounts & Sync - Scheduling?

Hey all, I'm lost on this, maybe I cannot find the feature.
How do you schedule syncing? I can go into settings-accounts & sync, but I don't see anyway to set it up to lets say automatically sync ever hour or every 2 hours.
I'll use my gmail accounts as an example. How can I get them to sync on a schedule, not when the phone itself wants to sync them. Thanks!

Yeah I think I'm a moron becasue I coudn't find the sync buttons anywhere. In my G1 it was pretty easy to find, but not on this phone.

Think button is in accounts, scheduling does not exist here. I think this feature is in droid x

If you go to accounts and do a long touch on your selected account the settings for it will appear. Within this you can change the frequency that your email syncs.

Gmail syncs automatically and its push, that means as soon as you get an email the phone will download it, there is no time to set.
the other accounts (via email app) you can just press the menu button and go to settings when you are in the account and tell it how often you want it to check (5, 10, 15 mintues, etc)

Im pretty sure Gmail does not have "push". Unless they changed it in TouchWiz, Gmail never had push notifications. I use "Tasker" to schedule my syncing every morning at 4am.

I am not sure how long it's been, but it's been a while. I had a blackberry and HD2 and if you use their Gmail app instead of the email app native from the phone, it will be push and that is why there is no setting where you can change how frequent you want it to check. I can send myself an email from my work to my gmail and my phone will alert me whithin 5 seconds no matter how often I send the email... so it is push

Hotmail mailbox always on push

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)?

[Q] Email Sync After KitKat update

Since the update to kitkat, my S4 has been syncing and downloading email messages right around midnight (11:42 last night, 12:04 the night before, etc.) I have a pop3 email account set up (Comcast) and sync is turned on except that I have sync settings set to manual. Before kitkat, it would only retrieve email when I opened the app and actually hit the sync button. What changed in kitkat to cause it to retrieve email late at night? I've checked the settings and searched the forum. Any ideas? I could turn sync off entirely, but would have to turn it on each time I want to manually retrieve my email.

Go to e-mail : Menu button-> settings->Account Settings->Click on e-mail you want to change Sync etc... Sync settings...
Good luck..

Thanks. I've already done that before I posted. All are set to manual sync. I will try deleting and setting up account again.

Press on gmail app from the phone and it will pop up sync email enable or disable. Uf you enable then them. Do for serveal time order it to eat. I have the same issues. Be careful with pop setup it pulling everything from the servers and transfer to ur phone without make copy to the servers, unless that is what u want.

I have the same issue, two email accounts set to manual sync that automatically pull emails once a day without me opening the program.

The only solution I've found is to turn on sync each time you want to check your email and then off again when you're done. This is a hassle and I wish there was a better solution. Something has to be triggering the event.

I'm also having this same problem.
