Hey guys! I'm still kinda used to the GS II and the GNexus, so I'd like to recieve my e-mails instantly, and not check every 5 minutes... But for some reason, you don't have a push download/notification, which is kind of a bummer... I do like to get notified immediatly... Can someone give me a tip, for a ROM, or an app, which has such a feature. If you tell me about a ROM, please one which has TWiz...
Err. yes, it sets to push, 5 mins, 15 mins, 1 hour, 4 hours, 12 hours, manual.

In email client (where you have an account configured) Menu > Sync Options
There you have peak schedule and off-peak schedule.
Hmm... It says: Every 5/10/15/30, Every hour, Every four hours, Once a day and never... :/ That's why I was asking...
You should make an exchange account to get push

I tried, but the account, which used to work won't now, and the account, where nothing is saved works fine...
I guess I'll have to find a different solution...
Is the issue with Exchange on server- or clientside?
If you live in a location where software patents are laughed upon (like the EU) then you could use Z-Push to convert IMAP accounts to Exchange.
There are also 3.party IMAP-Clients in the Play Store which allow IMAP-IDLE long-polling ("pushing")

Definitly on the phone, it has worked on every other smartphone I've had/used.
I'll give the apps you mentioned a try. I'll post the result in a few.

Hi,
Originally back in 2000-2007 I was a Nokia and Blackberry User. Instant Emails I am very much used to, however I decided to take a break from Blackberry and right so as now everyone has one and I find it annoying! LOL!
in 2008 I got a Nokia e71, the email schedule was a crap annoying 15mins, so I decided to see if there is anything out there to speed it up!
I found emoze. This app was a lifesaver, once you got it to work ofcourse.
Now I am on a HD2 with a batter life equivalent to a snail on a motorway, (slow to move but quick to die)
I am in need for a more than 5mins schedule on my emails without the battery dying so quickly. I tried emoze on the HD2 but it does not work, it gets as far trying to add an account which then crashes.
I looked at the gmail push, problem is I have my own doman hosted email accounts I am not a fan of gmail, hotmail etc, as I am working professional and such accounts are frowned upon and not taken seriously.
Sorry for the story I thought i give you a understanding of where i am coming from etc.
Thanks.
Exactly something i am looking for too, and for exactly the same reason mentioned! i got my own domain too, so business mails are strictly on that, and hotmails good only for the "forwards"
Please help guys!
what are u guys talking about , if you need it for business , use exchange , if u're ok with google, use google sync for your gmails. Thats push email for you.
Agree, with above - MS Exchange server works like a charm!!
Emoze works on my HD2.
I've got two accounts configured on it, one is an Outlook Web Access (OWA) and the other is my own domain.
Re-try Emoze and let me know exactly what faults you are having and I'll do my best to help you.

hi there....another app that as good as emoze (even better for me then emoze) is seven .....you should try it bro.
here is the like for it: http://www.seven.com/
thought it is still in beta, but it work great!
mail2web offer an exchange based email service. I've been using it for a year with no problems
yeah.. use seven
best push email for me, been using it since I was still using Eten M600
Hi guys,
Exchange
you make it sound like going out buying a dedicated server, install exchange and setup my emails (4 accounts in total) is a walk in the park.
dont get me wrong i do this stuff for a living, but my business has never had the need for an exchange server. and wont for a long time. so thats not an option.
emoze
i will try it again and see how it goes.
seven
never liked it much, as emoze was easier for me and suited my needs, even got a pro license as well.

Hi there,
im not quite sure if emoze works fine with the HD2, give it a try and tell us
emoze crashes!
Hi no emoze does not work on the HD2.
- it crashes on the part where you need to add the account settings for your pop3 server.
- also you get the Microsoft reporting error screen
- i remember one i could edit the settings but for some reason i get no joy this time.
gonna give seven a try.
seven
Seven also was a waste of time.
Not sure what to do next, gonna pm the guy that said he got emoze to work.
Do you not use Gmail because how the email address looks to clients or for security purposes?
If it's the first one, Gmail offers hosted email services for custom domain names. So you use their service and all the benefits that come with it but it would be [email protected].
seven: simply the best!

Seven works awesome for me. Instant push mail.. I use it with Lotus Notes and its the best push mail connector service I have used. I have tried Emoze and mail2web services but like the seven best.
@mr3rown:
You should try Google's business package where they will host the email service for your domain name.
Most of the ISPs will host your domain email on their exchange servers and its cheap you never have to worry about your own servers and you can have as many emails as possible.
Google Hosted Emails
Right,
i took a look at the google hosted email, and volia, i have updated all my mx records and cnames etc, working fine on my clients, just now need to start setting it up on my HD2.
will post back with results.
Apologies if this is not what you guys are looking for but for push mail, I have 3 accounts on servers supporting imap-idle and I use Flexmail to check mail so I get instant notifications when mails come in and it doesn't poll the server in x-mins thus no battery drain.

does this allow the use of imap idle (push) on outlook mobile?
I'm a Mogul user looking to switch to the Hero.
Two questions:
1) Does android support multiple IMAP accounts?
2) If so, does it support push/idle? Can I set one account up to check, and one to stay online (for push)?
Not opposed to third party apps, if needed.
Thanks!
I have two IMAP accounts on mine, no problem there.
You can set indepent intervals to check, I don't think actual push is an option, but you could have it check every 5 minutes I think.
agreed, multiple IMAP is fine, but i have found no way of using IMAP idle to do push either. I just don't think it supports it.
Also, if your IMAP requires you to set the IMAP path, you may run into issues as well.
Thanks, I think I'll give android a try then. Looks like K9mail might be able to do push....either of you tried that?
I had a look, but visually I didn't like it. I have no issue with stock mail so I use that...
i just route my email through Gmail now. i only log into my server to clear it out once in a while.
Which reminds me, it's up for renewal....dammit, more money to pay out this month
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...

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.

Hi, I have 3 exchange accounts set up on my SGS2, two hotmail-based and one for my university. I did have all 3 accounts using push but notice an absolutely massive drain on my battery, phone is kept awake even when idle, the same is true when any two accounts are on push and one is manual.
However when just one account is set up to sync on push and the others on manual then battery use is negligible.
Anyone experiencing similar results or figured out a workaround?
The email app is based on Seven mail, used to use the beta version on my HTC Desire before and had the same 3 accounts on push and worked perfectly, I've tried to install that app but it recognises the existing app and asks to replace it.. which I don't really want to do.
... whole day I wonder what happen with this phone and how come he stays awake the whole day. And this post reminded me how i added an additional account to the mail client just last night .... Any suggestions (except delete account)
PS: Ok, odd thing. Just removed digital clock from widgets, charged the battery fully and the phone isn't awake for 2 hours now ...
Don't quite understand, are you using the Seven app? Or adding the Accounts in through the integrated email client?
Also Hotmail is not an 'Exchange' account, it's just POP3 (or premium pop, whatever Samsung call it...)
I assume you mean the stock samsung email app?
I was having issues with this keeping the phone awake and I didn't even use the bloody thing, it is now in the freezer and out won't be coming out anytime soon.

I find the vanilla email app a good bit better.

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.
