I am under the impression that you can change how often your e-mail syncs and uses data to find if you have new e-mails. I only see the option to turn it off all together.
How could I make it sync every 15 minutes?
BUMP!!!!!
Change it within the email client.

I have two e-mail addresses, both with comcast. I've added both to the atrix but can only seem to access one of them. The only way for me to switch in the e-mail app is to change the default mail client (which is really annoying). Does anyone know how to select the e-mail accounts without having to change the default, exit the app and come back in?
Thanks
For some reason Motorola decided to be special, what you need to do is actually click on the messaging app. There you will see both your accounts and can fully access them. The email app will only give you the email account that you set as default. Hope it helps. Cheers.

Wow. I can't believe i missed that....
you can also create a shortcut by selecting activities and scroll to universal inbox and select universal inbox.
So here is my query, I have searched but did not find anything that remotely assisted me with my particular problem.
I have multiple e-mail accounts set up on my phone. 2 Gmail accounts, 2 yahoo accounts, and a pop3 email account for my website. It is also likely that I will have to set up my work e-mail on the phone too here in the not too distant future.
I currently get 1 email in any of the email boxes and I am constantly barraged with constant email alerts notifying me of new mail every 5 minutes it seems. Is there any way to change them to all only notify me of new mail and not just alert until I actually read the unread mail? It's not always possible for me to get right to it and to have those notifications continually coming in is a little annoying.. Is there a way to stop the multiple notifications and stick to alerting only on new messages for all accounts?
I should say I'm a recent convert from the iPhone 4 to the HTC EVO 3D and love every aspect about it except for this.
Thanks in advance from an HTC EVO 3D & Android Noob!
I'm not quite clear on your problem. Are you receiving multiple notifications because your using multiple email applications? Or are all your email accounts set up through the stock sense email app which provides separate notifications for each different account?
I have 5 email accounts. 4 are set up through gmail and the third is a pop3 account which I have forwarded to a gmail account.
I have my accounts set up through gmail and exchange activesync. I use the gmail app and the sense app because of its unified mailbox. I have the notifications disabled for each account on the sense app and just rely on gmail to notify me.
Another thing you can do is turn off the notification for the gmail app and customize the notifications for the sense app, since you can set peak and off peak hours. So for your less busy or less important accounts you can pull every 2 hours but for your important accounts you can set to push (if your set up through exchange.)
I don't know if this is any help. If you clarify a little I might be able to provide a more clear response.

Yes, I am using the built in sense email app for multiple mail accounts. I'm beginning to think that each time it reaches out and it sees an unread message on the server whether or not it has notified me of that single unread message. I'm not a fan of linking all of my accounts to one Gmail account on here as they all serve a separate purpose and I can prioritize them as needed by looking at the status bar notification.
I don't think I've touched the native Gmail app at all since I've had this thing. I have 3 accounts that are set up to reach out to get new mails at 5 minute intervals (1 Gmail, 1 yahoo & 1 pop3) and the rest I have moved to 30 minute intervals as they are not as time sensitive.
I just checked the native Gmail app and the notifications are set to off. I guess this is just something new to me since leaving AT&T and getting rid of my iPhone. I was hoping there was some kind of notify tweak that I was missing that would only prompt it to notify of new mails period. I can't always grab my phone to check mails immediately so that's how I noticed it..
I'm so green to this, I've only had my EVO3D for a week now.. I think I got too used to the iPhone but decided to lose AT&T and move back to Sprint. Any help or other ideas would be greatly appreciative.
And many thanks to you parousia15 for your assistance in this matter thus far...
In the Notification settings is there not an option similar to "Notify me Once"? I use this option in Gmail and also in Handcent SMS for notifications. I don't use the stock mail app so not sure it is there or not.
Vdubtx,
I checked that under the native mail notification settings and there is not one that I can find. I did just start with handscent so I"m trying to learn more about it as time goes on.. So far I love my phone.. I don't think I'll be changing any time soon...
I've tried to replicate your situation, unfortunately, when I get a new email through the native sense app, it beeps once and only once. It doesn't renotify me after any amount of time. I don't know what else to recommend. Sorry.

thanks for trying! I guess I'll have to try and see what I can figure out myself then..
I did recently find some complaints over on Android Central that were exactly the problem I'm having. These were from a year ago with the EVO 4G but no one had any constructive help there. UGH... My hunt shall continue tomorrow I guess..
I have yet to find a fix for this issue. I've come to the realization that the stock email app sucks with notifications. I just want a single notification of new emails not a notification every time it checks that I haven't read the previous email. Starting to miss my iPhone for this function!
Download the actual gmail and yahoo mail app for real time notification of new mail rather than unread mail. You can use the stock mail app for you pop3 account. That worked best for me.
As a mail server admin I have seen issues with POP3 clients (mobile and computer) where the client will not properly keep track of what is new.
Even more frustrating is that the server can cause this as well.
First thing is to methodically figure out if it is a certain type of email account. If it is the POP account then try connecting through IMAP instead.
The only real way to know is to sift through the server/device connection logs.
Worst case, to be less enjoying, you could turn off just the vibrate and sound part of the notifications and keep the icon.

I'm having the same issue. I ended up muting the notification and just having the icon display the new e-mails. Though it would be nice to have it ring only once because I would like to actually be notified without the repeat every 5 minutes.
This is happening on my EVO 3D and also on my dad's Thunderbolt. Both using the default Sense mail client.
I actually did a little testing and it is in fact repeating only when it checks for mail. If the client checks for new e-mails every 10 minutes, it will notify you every 10 minutes. This most likely means that it's not actually a reminder alert but an alert that new mail is present like someone else said could be possible in this thread.
That being the case, there wouldn't be an option to change that in the settings unless something gets updated. What needs to happen is that the client must recognize the e-mail has already been downloaded previously so it doesn't notify again and again that there is a "new" e-mail.
I use a Gmail and a Hotmail email account. On my iPhone I had it set to check every hour and both emails were under 1 app. Now on this phone there are separate apps for Gmail and regular mail. Is there a way to make them go into 1 email app? And also my mail app checks every half hour, but I found no option to make the gmail app check at all. I don't like having to check, refresh, and wait for the email. I like being notified when I have an email.
Thanks.
Add your gmail account to the mail app and uninstall gmail.

If you've never done this, you have to make sure to go into your gmail settings and enable IMAP (or POP). It will tell you the server settings to use as well.
Worked perfectly. Thanks.
I never even realized that I can setup my Gmail address as an Exchange account so that it can be pushed to my native email client, until I tried setting it up that way last night.
My question is, is this a more battery efficient way of setting up mail? I used to setup my Gmail as an IMAP account that is set to check every 15 minutes- so which is a better method?
Thanks in advance...
Pretty sure the Gmail app uses push anyway.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Yup the thing is I have two other Gmail addresses that I setup on the native email client, and set it up now as Exchange so it can be push via IMAP checking mail every 15 minutes...
I have battery drain issues and was hoping someone can confirm if Push is better for battery?
Push is better for battery life than I map checking every 15 minutes. The phone only does anything with push when an email is pushed to it. It doesn't so any checking itself. I have six accounts set up on my Gmail app

Does any body has any idea how to auto receive email on corporate account without enabling sync. .. I was able to receive emails in Stock ICS. Now I'm on official stock JB but do not receive the emails when the sync is off... is there any workaround or any app to solve my problem... I would love to use the inbuilt email as it would consume Less memory than installing an app which would run in background

Im amazed it worked in ICS with sync off. If you want your email client to sync with your email server, you need sync on. Why are you turning sync off anyway?

If I turn sync off Gmail won't auto sync evertime and whenever I need I will sync ... but corporate mails are important and I feel they should come in automatically whenever sync is off... if I turn sync on it pulls battery continuously

Sync = sync. If you want to sync things, you need sync on. If your email client us using too much battery, change how it syncs (push etc)
