Hi, in Pocket Outlook you can set your pop3 emails to check "once a day". But it doesn't let you select what time "once a day". So I'm assuming it's the time you actually select "once a day". Is that stored in the registry anywhere to edit?
I'd like to set it to check once a day but I always forget to do it at the time I actually want it to check once a day... Get what I'm saying?
hehe, this is pretty strange.. i've never thought about it.
But.. you can actually use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438970

I seem to be missing something. I upgraded the ROM and set up my prophet for push email. In the schedule section, I set it to check for messages every 10 minutes. It appears as though the same thing can be done in the "Messaging" app by setting it to connect and check for new messages (Screen 4, "Options" button during account setup. This actually looks preferable, as you do not need an exchange server.
Am I missing something here? There was a whole lot of excitement in the forum about AKU2.

Checking for messages every 10 minutes is not push email. Almost as good though.
As far as I know the AKU2 supports A2DP etc. What else does it do?
Okay, so this is too weird. i have a new Cingular Treo 750. I have an IMAP account set up in the messaging. Its checks for email like every 2-4 minutes. I mean, its literally checking ALL the time. HOWEVER, I originally had it set to check every 17 minutes. MOREOVER, it continues to automatically poll at this frequnecy even after I have unchecked the automatic polling option. WTF???
ANy thoughts? How about any registry keys that I can edit?
There's a bug I discovered where there are TWO different places you set up the checking interval:
Menu>Tools>Options>(account)>next>next>next>Options>
Also:
Menu>DeliveryPreferences
Both of these spots have the identical options for chosing how often you connect and how much mail you download, etc.
But if you go in to the account in to the options and set it up, you'll notice that when you go in to Menu>DeliverPreferences they don't match.
As far as I can tell Menu>DeliveryPreferences doesn't work. You have to go all the way in to the account settings and in to the options and set it there.
So this MAY be a source of your problems as far as controling how often it connects. Make sure you disable scheduled sync in both places.
Yeah I was going to say the same thing as RF9. I notice this too.
Make sure you don't have it CHECKED and set to 0 min. This will make it check constantly.
Actually I wasn't able to change the settings on the menu-deliv prefs interval. I was however, able to delete the account and add it again so that I avoided going into the secondary menu at all. I think that this, kinda like the today soft keys, is a bit of a Palm being over zealous
I have a gmail and need to setup account as IMAP... when I go to setup new account it automatically takes settings from internet and there is no option to set up manually, then after setting up its set to pop3 and greyed out unchangeable. Also tried setting it up with the outlook but am not sure of settings, is it only for exchange server??
Any tips here would be appreciated.
Try misspelling the domain (like gmail.comm) and it will let you set it up manually. Then just go back and change the email address once it's all set up.
thanks, you dont know how annoyed I was. seems like it should let you choose to set it up manually from the start.

Yeah...that drove me crazy for a while before I stumbled on it by accident thanks to missing a key press in the domain name
Does anyone know how i can set the send and receive schedule for my emails to something less than 5 minutes? I know this will kill my battery but i'm only planning on changing this at set times of the day.
Thank you!
Was thinking of doing this as well. How are you limiting the send/recv schedule to run at certain times?
I guess ill just have to manually change it...
Nothing out there?
go to google and search "seven" the 3rd or 4th post is about a email push service (and no it doesn't kill your battery , i use it and know firsthand) . anyway ... go to the site and look for beta at the very top of the screen follow instructions and download what you like lol , ive used it reliably for the past year and a half or so but keep in mind that beta means beta and usually about once every 2 weeks it goes under for updates and the like .

you can use this application to automatically send/receive outlook mobile email and activesync. i don't think you can specify every 5 minutes as it is scheduled using actual set times and not intervals. this program is what i use as i don;t have a data plan; every morning it have it pull my email from my imap accounts.
Thanks for the responses. I have checked out 'seve' push but i would prefer to use the built in outlook email program. I thought that there may have been away to edit the registry or something to allow it to send/receive more often than at just 5 minutes..
I use the SEVEN email program to have my Yahoo mail sent to my phone. It's great, free, etc., etc. The one thing I want to do is change how often it checks for new mail. My Touch Pro's battery dies pretty quickly so I'm doing everything I can to minimize the drain on it. There's nothing in the settings to dictate a time frame(say every 2 hours), only a way to set certain days to manual check. I have it set for manual check everyday until I can figure this out. Was hoping someone might know their way around the SEVEN registry entries. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Pretty sure this isn't possible as the whole purpose of SEVEN is to provide Push email.
You can try using yahoo mobile or use some other email account and forward your yahoo mail to say a POP3 account.
As said above Seven is designed to provide realtime push email. It also says on their site that to enable this to happen the software maintains an open GPRS connection to their servers at all times unless you use the weekends/night sleep options.
I have been using it successfully for some time now and while it does run the battery down it is a small price to pay for free push mail from many accounts while keeping all the accounts distinct.
