I have push email and 2 email accounts set to sync every 2 hours. Is there a way to keep push on and still sync the other 2 email accounts but turn off vibration during certain times like at night? I don't want my phone vibrating when I am sleep as it sometimes wakes me up.
Profile managers can do this, e.g. SPB Phone Suite (commercial). Not sure if there are freeware apps vailiable.
You can set yourself up using G-profile and Outlook Email scheduler

Using WM6 Pocket Outlook with our Exchange Server. I want my phone to alert me when I get a new email, but not alert me at night.
Pocket Outlook + Exchange lets you specify how often to check for messages normally and during peak hours. I've set the peak hours to daytime and set it to only manually check off hours.
Aside from that or turning off my phone, any suggestions?
I believe you can configure different alerts using PhoneAlarm, but I'm not 100% sure.
Phone alarm works and so does SPB Mobile Suite. I use mobile suite for some of the other features, but it allows me to create profiles, accessible from the today screen, that control all sounds from the device.
I work nights and sleep during the day, so I have one profile called Bed that keeps the ring volume at 80%, implements a whitelist (meaning only peoples numbers on the list will cause the phone to ring), and turns off email,sms and MMS notifications. Then, when I get up, I just click my profile Icon on the Today screen and select another profile, which again can change all notifications etc. You can also have it turn on or off wifi, bluetooth, phone, etc, when a profile changes. An awesome app. Note: PhoneAlarm does all of this and more, so download the trials and see which one works best for you.
Check it out here.

I bet you will end up with one of these, they are awesome.
Just remembered that I think, Phonealarm didn't allow the whitelist/blacklist feature that I wanted and that was my final reason for picking SPB phonesuite.
Hope this helps
I like SBSH PhoneWeaver:

Any ideas how to set up a profile (like I have for the Exchange sync) so that I don't get my phone waking me up in the middle of the night every time it automatically checks my POP3 e-mail.
Sure, I could set it to silent, but then my alarm doesn't go off kin the morning.
Sure, I could sync POP3 e-mail manually, but that's a pain in the arse during the day.
I can set my Exchange sync to only work between certain hours, why not POP3?
bump...just this once.
Not really an answer to the problem but i am usng SPB Time for my alarm functions and that overrides the silent setting and has nice big Off and Snooze buttons as well..
Like your thinking deedee...
I use Profiles for Windows, which can be found here...

I have a number of profiles that switch time through the day and then at night it switches the phone off, then switches it back on at 5:30 in the morning.
Works seemlessly - most of the time.
The stock N1 Power Manager Widget has a Sync button that allows you to toggle background data sync (aka Push). I imagine Toggling it off reduces data usage and thereby saves battery. This will of course preclude Gmail checking, calendar & Picasa album sync etc.
So someone trying to maximise their battery life might toggle their Sync button to off, then intermittently place it back on again every hour or so to allow Gmail check and calender updating. They could also just go into gmail and press refresh. But both method require manual input from user.
So how about a small utility to automate this task. User could specify intervals like 15, 30, 60min and also a Sync ON period of say 1, 2 or 5 min.
It might also have the capability to toggle Sync off, after an user defined period for when user overrides the schedule & activates it via the Power Manager Widget.
Does this make sense and does anyone think the battery savings would justify to work involved to make this utility?
BTW I am not a programmer. Just an ideas man Checked the Market and the only sync utilities are manual toggles or one button shortcuts to accounts and sync settings. So I reckon this is a utility waiting for one of you clever programmer guys to make.
I requested an app similar to this over a year ago and it got nowhere. Then again, Android was still fairly young back then too...
What I would like to see is a Peak/Off-Peak time scheduler similar to what Windows Mobile ActiveSync has.
It would be nice to have this work with ALL data syncs (Email, Twitter, Facebook and ESPECIALLY Corporate Email (this last one is the most important for me).
I know something CAN be done, Touchdown has this built in, but I would rather use stock apps for corp mail than Touchdown.
Thanks,
+1 on this one as well.I justhave a data sync toggle.surely if that is possible someone can make an app which turns this on and off at desired intervals?
Yeah - Lets keep it simple to start with - simply manipulating the data sync toggle @ prescribed intervals initially. The stuff you suggested Talderon might be nice for a more sophisticated tool. I reckon just same effect as pressing the Power Manager Widget, sync button would be good for starters. Working on the Kiss principle.
BUMP
Been a while - Has anyone subsequently found an app that can disable Auto-Sync to a user defined schedule?

I have been searching for something liike this.
I have noticed that auto sync is the biggest battery drain on the phone, much more like for example Sipdroid.
I found WiSyncPlus which in theory does the job, but the still lacks some functions in android 2.1 (like forced sync schedule and autosync schedule).
I have been myself looking into the code of android in order to try to do a simpple app to do the job!
regards!
Umm what? The display is the biggest drain on the battery, and you can check on what drain your battery in settings to confirm what does and does not drain the battery.

I'm using the HTC Mail app (Sense 3.5 - Endymion 3.2 ROM) for reading my work IMAP mail.
I don't want to poll this mail continuously, only poll/refresh manually.
My update frequency is set to "manual", however the app keeps updating regularly.
Once per 3 minutes it seems.
I do use JuiceDefender (set to 15 minutes), but that doesn't change the fact that the update frequency is set to "manual".
What am I doing wrong?
I've had the opposite problem with the HTC mail app. Refresh set to push, but test emails take 30 mins to show up. Regardless of setting or hitting refresh. I've found it's just inconsistent. Does K9 mail do the same thing?
If juice defender is anything like tasker, it can force a refresh even if you have the apps frequency turned down. Tasker however, uses a plugin called Synker to do this, which you can specify what accounts are refreshed. Perhaps give it a go if juice defender it's the issue.

All day yesterday phone was casually checked. Texts, calls, browsing..then at 10pm all of a sudden 6 emails sent throughout the day all push through simultaneously.
Is there any way to get instant emails again? Kind of ridiculous that this is an issue.
Yes I have done all power saving features as this only happens with Gmail
I'm also having this problem. I don't necessarily only get emails at the end of the night, but while my TeslaUnread will indicate that I have an email, it does not notify me in the notification shade (or get sent to my Garmin watch). I may get a notification in a few minutes or 30 minutes or an hour. I guess it just depends.
And, if I take an action on an email such as delete or archive, it does not update my webmail until I manually refresh the app.
I'm testing a workaround. I've installed BlueMail and made it exempt from battery optimization (you can't do it for Gmail as it does not appear in the list of apps to exempt from battery optimization). Now if I have an email in my inbox and take an action such as delete or archive in BlueMail, it immediately is reflected in my webmail view. I sent myself a test email and it appears pretty much immediately in my notifications for BlueMail but not for Gmail.
So if you want to see if this fixes your issue:
- install a third party client (BlueMail looks pretty good)
- configure your email account
- turn on notifications
- do some testing
If your notifications start working normally then it seems that battery optimization (aka Doze) is responsible for Gmail's tardiness.
