Hi everybody,
I recently downloaded K-9 Mail for my Galaxy S2 and setup all my email accounts, but the problem is that I want this program periodically check my emails.
I've set the "Folder Poll Frequency" for all accounts to "1 Hour", but it doesn't seem to automatically check email.
When, after sometime, I open K-9 Email, I see at the top the statement "Next Poll @ ..." which is always set to a time one hour later than the time I opened K-9; for example, if I open it at 9:32, it says "Next Poll @ 10:32" and I press the Home button and wait for 5 minutes and open it again at 9:37 and it says "Next Poll @ 10:37".
Anybody having the same issue? Is there any workaround?
Thank you...
Menu-more-settings-account settings-fetching email-folder poll frequency- you can try to set it never
Menu-more-settings-global settings-network-backround sync- set it to never
Hope this helps

Thank you, I will try...
But I'm wondering how it's supposed to automatically check for email if set everything to "Never" ?
You can switch off background data on your phone. Settings-accounts and sync-background data
On latest darky kk5 everythin workin just fine

I'm sorry, but I'm a little confused...
I'm not sure if I made myself clear; I actually DO WANT K-9 Mail to DO SYNC my emails in the background and DO NOTIFY me if I have any new email...
Thank you...

Could you do a test (if you haven't done it yet)?
Set the poll freq. to 15 min.
Wait 5 min and check K9 to see if poll time has changed.
Wait 5 min and email yourself something, so we know you will receive a msg.
Wait 5 min and see if K9 fetchs the message.
If it doesn't work, check if manual fetch works (and syncs). If manual fetch doesn't work, check your email settings.
If manual fetch works, do you have any data connection managers that could interfere (such as JuiceDefender)?
In my case I have K9 with two mail accounts and didn't saw any problem fetching (poll freq. @ 15 min)
Hello
Don't want to open another new post for K9-Mail but can you please advise if it works with Exchange 2010?
Thank You

i have my device setup to check email every 10 min but i mail automatically gets deleted, whether i have read it yet or not, the next time it checks the mail. so i do i keep my mail. thanks
Here si the fix on the HTC and disappearing emails
1 start/message/click email account/menu/tools/options/tap email account/edit account setup/next/next/next/next/next/download message 3 pls days/advance setting/keep them on server/next/ finish
Do this for all accounts
Now go to your computer and outlook tools/email accounts/view or change email account/next/change/ more settings/advanced/leave copy on server/ how many days is up to you
You must do this for all you accounts on that computer. then do the same to all the computer you use to get the same e-mails.

Hi everyone,
Just got my new SGS 2 (with XWKE1), configured it, all was cool. Then Kies offered update to XWKE2, which I gladly accepted. After the update, the Email app was constantly using 30 to 50% of CPU!!! Phone was getting hot and battery was discharging like crazy.
The Email app was configured to use MS Exchange. My other phones (iPhone4, Moto Defy) have no isses with Exchange.
When I delete MS Exchange acc from SGS2, all is cool, phone works like a charm.
Decided to downgrade to XWKE1 (with factory reset), and guess what - Email app works fine with my Exchange account! No phone overheat, no excessive CPU usage.
Out of pure curiousity, upgraded again to XWKE2 (with factory reset) - same erratic behaviour of Email app after an Exchange acc is configured!
So, now I'm back to XWKE1, extremely happy with the phone, and wondering if I'm the only one with this issue?
Email isn't even showing on the battery list on mine. XWKE2 VillainROM 1. I've got exchange push running, and just received an email a few mins ago. Seems strange you are getting high usage.
Yeah, mine is push too... And works fine on KE1. Will try the KE2 Villain tonite, if I get time...
A question abouth the e mail app.
Can't you sync mail every 1-2-3 or 6 hours or something like that. I can only choose, Push or by hand.
Sure you can: in Account Settings/Sync Schedule there's Peak Schedule and Off Peak Schedule. There you can find options needed.

Only problem I have is it don't let me add an email account unless I have social hub installed and select it as a premium account. Without selecting it I get errors for either incorrect email and password or connection error but same details with the box ticked works. Piece of crap!

Sorry for being dumb. But the only options for peak shudule are--> when peak shedule is on--> push or by hand. When peak shedule is off--> push or by hand.
Than I can install peak time.
But nowhere I can choose every hour, every 2 hours or so...
having also issues with email app and exchange push. with XWKE2

Weird... I have the choices... As a theory - these setting might be under Exchange server control, so their appearance may depend on your Exchange server admin's will.

Microsoft Exchange Server is a corporate email solution, used in companies and organizations. Why are you configuring Exchange account on your SGS2, if you don't know where your Exchange server is, if you don't mind me asking? Because if it's the Exchange server at your work, you must talk to your IT dept.
I have the exact same problem with mine, although I have no idea how to "factory reset" the phone..
Does anyone know how to reset it??

Mate, I don't think you've got an exchange account set up. You have your hotmail set up as a 'premium' pop3 account. The default email/social hub app is somewhat tricky/annoying (compared to winmo 6.5). Hotmail have their own exchange server that you can use. I can provide a link on how to set it up later this evening or you can try to google it.

I have 2 email accounts set under the social hub, one for hotmail and the other for gmail, and for both email accounts i've set them under premium accounts which means instant push email during the peak periods. For both accounts, i've set the peak days to everyday of the week and peak timing to start pushing emails from 7.00 am and stop at 12.00 am. The rest of the non peak hours (12.01 am to 6.59 am) i've set the emails to come in manually.
So, correct me if i'm wrong, the emails are supposed to be pushed to your phone during the peak periods (which means your phone vibrate/sounds/notifications in status bar etc when emails come in) and during the non peak hours emails are not supposed to be pushed to your phone (which means no vibration/sounds/notifications in status bar etc) even when a sender sends an email during the non peak hours? If my interpretation is correct, then say for example you've got 5 emails sent to you during the non peak hours, you should only be notified of the 5 emails at 7.00 am, am i right?
The problem i'm having is for the non peak hours. The emails still continue to come in without me opening/refreshing the email app/account. I'm not certain if the phone sounds/vibrates when emails come in during the non peak hours but when i turn on my phone during the middle of the night i have email notifications even without opening the app. Can someone please enlighten me about this issue? Much appreciated!
100+ views and not a single reply? Come on man any constructive reply would help.
i dont have a solution , but i have both peak & non-peak schedule set as manual for all mail accounts i have in social hub.
Still i get the mails as if in Push service. I guess the settings made on our phones arent being reflected on the samsung server.
Everything's being pushed (but not promptly i looks).. has a delay.

I can understand the delay part but it shouldn't be so bad until the email gets delayed for a few hours? The way i see it seems like what you've said, the settings aren't reflected on samsung's server. Thanks for the insight anyway.
Can I ask why you don't just use the Gmail app for the gmail account, it's not too relevent but I wonder why people do that? The push service is far more efficient and the app allows better exploration of the mailboxes..
anyway to the point, try setting the peak time to 11.59pm, maybe it's in some strange loop
This is more likely the reason though - whenever the app is open the phone will try to make a connection and refresh the inbox.. I used to use push on the native email (not through social hub, through a exchange activesync account from the app itself) but this used to create a wakelock and waste the battery, I'm guessing this push wakelock is occuring on your phone too and keeping push active even in the off-peak periods, try changing the peak sync schedule to 5minutes (for both accounts), restart the phone and see if the issue occurs

I didn't set the gmail account to come in through the gmail app because i didn't want to enable auto sync. Anyway back to the point, I've tried setting the peak period sync schedule in sets of 7.00 am to 11.00 pm, 7.00 am to 7.05 am and even set the peak period to manual and emails still come in during the non peak period.
When you have push, it's push and push only. As soon as the mail is on the server, it will be pushed to your device.
The peak/non peak times apply when you have set the email checking to be scheduled check of say 5 minutes, 10 min, etc.

Correct me if im wrong but isn't a premium email account instant push email while non premium email account is push email at user defined intervals (5min, 10min etc)? Because in non premium email account there is no peak/non peak settings, but instead just user defined time intervals. Whereas on premium email account, there isn't any user defined intervals (5min, 10min etc) but just peak and non peak periods. No offense but i'm just wondering if you're using a galaxy s2 because email configuration is a little different from stock android 2.3 as far as i know because of the social hub.
Anyway, my brother is using the same phone as me and i've asked him countless times and he had confirmed with me that if an email is being sent during the non peak periods, it will not be pushed to your phone until the start of the next peak period cycle or when you open/refresh the email app. In short, emails get pushed to his phone during the peak periods and emails will never come in during the non peak periods.
Well, no offense taken. Btw, I don't use the stock client as I have faced many issues with the same. I use TouchDown.
Thanks,
Vishal
I now have the same issue. Before Xmas everything was working fine, emails would only get puched during the specified time but now they are pushed 24/7. I have no idea why and have not managed to fix the issue. I was away all Xmas so my phone was turned off for 2 weeks.....I'm kinda guessing this may have something to do with it.......

May i know which country you're from and have you updated your firmware recently? My country (Singapore) had recently received an update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 on Christmas '11 and it seems like i've been having this email sync schedule bug after the update (at least that's what i notice). My brother is still on 2.3.3 and his emails pushes only during the user defined time intervals like how it should work.

I'm in the UK and I updated before xmas to 2.3.5 and I believe it was working fine until I came back of holiday but it certainly could be related. I also get duplicate notifications.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I know this is an old thread but nevertheless I think this is relevant.
I'm experiencing the same problem with an ICS build, namely XWLP9.
After a few experimenting, here are my findings:
I have a Google acount (with its email app) plus a corporate Exchange account, which is the one giving problems.
I set it to update each 1h during peak period, and manually during off-peak.
When initially set up, it works properly. However, after some kind of trigger situation, it will go into push mode and display notifications on the fly. This of course implies a permanent connection to the server and can be noticed in the wakelocks and battery consumption.
No matter what settings I change, namely putting all options in "Manual", it won't respect that and keep using push mode. The only way I found to revert to the periodic update was to remove the account altogether and re-add it from scratch. Eventually the situation will repeat after some time, sometimes one or 2 days, sometimes a couple of weeks.
I have a wild guess this might have something to do with performing a search within the Email app, since a couple of times I started noticing the bad behavior after that, but I'll need to do some more experiments till I can tell for sure if that's the culprit.
For now, I leave the workaround I'm using and hope it works for you experiencing the same issue.
I'm using the default ICS email application to connect to the exchange server at work and the application is perfect for me. Easy to use, nice and clean etc.
However, I have one major issue. You can't set sync periods, so for instance..Automatically Push emails between 9-5 Monday-Friday and outside those times, don't sync.
This is needed as I get automatic emails every hours but obviously I dont want these going on through the night. You could say turn the phone off, but I am required to have it on loud for on call work.
Does anyone know if I can use Tasker to modify the settings in the email app depending on the time? I could keep doing it manually, but would be easier if Tasker took care of it for me
I am looking for the exact same thing. Note that it already exists for K9 mail client.
If anybody finds anything, please let us know !

Well, maybe it's different in ICS, but on GB, you open email, hit menu, hit more, hit account settings, hit sync schedule.
Though if you're talking about GMail, and not EMail, you can just turn off auto-sync in your Accounts and Sync settings.
its very simple go to settings> accounts and sync then untick the auto sync option..thats it

So obviously there are some differences in the email app from Gingerbread to ICS. It's just a matter of navigating the menu to find the options you're looking for.
When you open the email app, and hit menu, do you get a "Settings" or "Account Settings" option? (if so, do you see a "Sync schedule" option inside that?)

That's the sync period. In other words, how far back to retrieve emails. There should also be a sync schedule, to set peak and off peak schedules on how often to sync.

You set it to what you want.
Push = emails retrieved when they are received.
Manual = on demand (when you first open the email app, or click "refresh")
You can also set it to intervals.
Peak/off peak is like day/night settings.
This is the same as GB...

It seems on ICS that these settings are not present, either in the main accounts sync settings, or in the stock mail client settings. I think they were there when I set the email account up, but perhaps cannot be changed subsequently?
Am I just missing something, or do I need to use another email client to get this capability?!

not that i can see. It just downloads whatever is waiting. Doesnt download any attachments automatically, youd have to open the email and press download for that.
