Maybe its just my phone, but will someone confirm for me? I use Exchange for work email, and I know the stock UI is not an ideal program, but it works ok for me. My problem is that I cant get the Sync setting to save after I "kill" the email program. I want to set it for "automatic (push)" so the emails hit my phone as soon as possible, but it will not save these settings, and defaults to 15 minutes and 30 minutes.
Can anyone confirm?

Every time when I start downloading my email over IMAP, I get "Receiving 3 of 5" message and it stays there forever. If I try to cancel the Send/Receive -- the message becomes "Disconnecting" and it stays forever (until soft reset).
Once I get into this state -- the phone start working extremely slow (it takes 2-3 min to open the Settings). As I had configured to check my email every 15 min, basically my phone is operation for the first 15 min after each restart. After that, I can't even pickup if someone is calling (The time it takes to show the answer buttons is bigger than the calling party is willing to wait).
I spend over a week trying to solve this very annoying problem but no luck so far. I upgraded to ROM 2.21, I tried all possible settings for IMAP accounts (download headers, download full message, etc), but nothing helps.
Any idea will be highly appreciated.
Clarification
forgot to mention that this happens only if some of the emails in my inbox have attachments. It seems that not all emails with attachments trigger this problem, but some of them do. Of course I turn off any setting related to downloading of attachments, but without success......
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.
It looks like the battery modes don't work reliably on my Atrix 2.
1. When a battery saver mode is selected and the battery & data manager turns push off, it does not obey the fetch schedule that the user selects in the e-mail client. Instead it defaults to fetching every 15 min. In fact it does this even if push was not enabled in the first place.
2. The off-peak hours selected in battery modes are not followed by the battery & data manager. Even during peak hours, push is turned off after inactivity (and the e-mail client reverts to fetching every 15 min by default, even if some other fetching schedule was selected by the user beforehand).
3. The “Turn off data after:” option seems to have no effect. No matter what interval is selected here, push is turned off after about 15 min of inactivity from what I can tell.
Is anybody else having problems with battery saver modes?
Nope, haven't had that problem
i have the same problems with email.
Nope I do not have that problem.

I did some more testing and regardless of what battery mode is selected, the e-mail client defaults to fetching every 15 minutes at completely random times from what I can tell (whether or not push is enabled in the first place). This seems to be a problem with Motorola’s custom e-mail client and not the battery modes.
It is interesting that some users are not having this problem.
916x10 or Coldheat– Are either of you on an updated build by any chance?
I am using the device as it came out of the box. System version: 55.11.16.MB865.ATT.en.US and Build: 5.5.1-175_EDFFW1-16
I sent an e-mail to Motorola support, let’s see what they have to say (if anything at all). Looks like a lot of Bionic users are having the same issue as well and Motorola failed to resolve it so far.
Im on the same build as you. Did u open the email app, go into settings and pick the sync interval you want?

I did pick an interval, but somehow it would always revert to 15 min when push is enabled. However, I did discover today that push works fine even when this happens. I sent my corporate account several e-mails today from another account at random times and all have come in instantly without problem. When I check the client right after an e-mail comes in, it actually says push is enabled again. So I believe this is simply how the Motorola client works.

Maybe that's why I haven't had this problem, I have never enabled push as I don't have anything that's that urgent that I need to be notified about it immediately. If it's that serious they can call me.

push was automatically enabled for my gmail accounts. i had to physically disable the push in email sync
Never had any of these problems, battery mode always set to nighttime saver. Only have gmail synced to this phone so couldn't say about another email application.
Hello everyone. Thanks for reading and I am hoping someone could help me.
With the new Samsung S7, I am having the following issue. Gmail wont sync automatically, so I dont receive any new emails unless I personally go into the app. When I go into account settings, everything seems fine. But let me add, this is not always. One day is working fine, and next day its not. Its weird. When its not working right, and I enter account settings, I see the black sync circle next to mail, and unless I manually click it on, it wont update.
Next, I do not know if its marshmallow or the S7. But before, when playing videos, or anything, the actual phone will give me the option to pick from my choices, and when chosing, I have the ability to either click JUST ONE, or make it default. Now, whenever it gives me an option, it does not allow me to choose just once. It automatically makes it a default. Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance.
My S7 has been receiving Gmail and FB Messenger messages rather intermittently but I haven't really been able to test enough to comment on it yet.
Your other issue is just the way Samsung/Touchwiz handles defaults. The way you're used to is the default MM way.
Definitely like the old default mm. With the new one I have to constantly go into settings and change default. It's annoying.
Today, Gmail worked for 2 emails, then it stopped receiving until I manually synced it. It weird.
RE the default App question, does anyone know of some setting (that maybe one that can be accessed via ADB) to return this to normal?
Similar to the way someone was able to enable Adoptable storage via ADB without needing root.
