Hi everyone,
i have an question about the sync interval of gmail.
at this moment i'm using gmail so that when there is a new mail i'll be notified, this costs a lot of batterylife thru the day.
i want for example that synch interval will be done every hour?
how will i make this happen????????????

Push notifications
I actually believe that the official gmail application for android doesn't let you configure what you're suggesting because it uses push notifications, which means it doesn't wastes battery "asking" the internet when you have a new e-mail, but the internet tells it and it appears instantly.
The only time option in this application is about how many mails do you want your phone to storage in cache, measured in days. For example, if you type 7, you'll always be able to see much quicklier the mails you received last week.

The minimum interval for pulling mail form the server in WM6 seems to be fifteen minutes.
Is there a possibility to decrease this interval to, let's say, 1 minute?
I can't find a registry key or initiation file for this value.
I don't know if there's a registry key, but other mail applications can be changed to 1 minute or more, but...
Why not use http://live.mail2web.com or http://www.port88.org and get a free push mail account.
Uses less data than constantly checking a mail account, and you will get an email almost instantly.
Just forward your existing mail account to either of those accounts, and cinfigure your device for that.
Then you also have the advantage of all your contacts, mail, calendar events, and notes being backed up on a server.
i have some doubts about the push using less data...
for example: with push my battery will last 1 day with 5min check it will last 2 days. GPRS is always on on both cases
pushmail has already been tried, but tends to be slow compaired to the outlook 15 minute-interval.
I have a Touch Pro with Sprint that I bought October 30th. I currently have it checking my Gmail, Hotmail, Work email (Exchange), and side job email (POP3). I don't use applications a whole lot but I'll occassionally use the GPS in the Windows Live app every so often to find something but not for more than 5 minutes. I do text maybe 10-20 messages a day. So I'm not doing anything that should drain the battery too horribly. When I first had Gmail and Hotmail working, battery life was decent, but i still had to charge it every night. I have Hotmail set to get email "as it arrives". Which I'm under the impression that they have it working with Push for Hotmail/Windows Live mail, correct? My Gmail is set through IMAP and checks every 60 minutes. I added my POP3 email to check "once a day". Battery life wasn't really effected. Then I added my Exchange email and set it to Push. My battery life plummetted. I couldn't get through half the day without having to charge my battery, even when I wasn't receiving emails. I don't receive too many emails with my work and even during my off hours when I'm not receiving any, it kills my battery life. I was under the impression that with Push, basically when I get an email on my server, my phone gets sent a little message telling it to check for email on the server. So its only checking email when told. I could be completely wrong, but does anyone have suggestions. I can barely make it through the day without having to charge the phone and that's using JUST email. If I try to use GPS or internet, I'm afraid my phone will die when I most need it. Thanks for any suggestions!!
Push email requires a data connection to be maintained open 24/7 - the only way to lessen the impact of this on your battery life is to force the phone into EDGE mode rather than UMTS/HSPA, it will use less power on EDGE and give you longer life, but you'll lose the various advantages of HSPA.
Your other choice is using a service that is not true push email, but their service checks your email account every so often and sends you notification through SMS to check it.. I believe "Seven" does this.. this way you don't have to maintain a data connection open 24/7.
Have you tried turning push mail off for a day or two and see if thats the real culprit here>
Having a data connection open doesn't use up much battery life. Only when its active does it chew through the battery.

I had the same problem with Outlook Direct Push on my AT&T Fuze. When I changed activesync to every 10 minutes for my Outlook account, it improved my battery performance immensely!
Hi there,
I have 6 POP3 email boxes configured to by sync'ed every hour, and also ticked the checkbox to get them synced when i open mail app.
I also use JuiceDefender Ultimate that is set to allow internet connection every 15 mins to sync things up
The problem is that i'm not getting emails every hour automatically, i'm getting them once i open mail app only.
Do you know what i can do to have them coming every hour like i set?
Is there a way to change the sync interval of gmail? I want to set it as every 10 or 15 min to save battery. Currently, I think it is constantly syncing.
No you cannot change it in the Gmail app. If you want to do timed email retrieval you will have to use a different email app.
Unless you're receiving many emails a minute, scheduled sync won't save battery.

The Gmail app works off of push notifications, not a sync interval, so as soon as you receive an email it'll get pushed to the mobile app in real time
I see. Thanks for all the answers.
Hello everyone,
My question is that if there is any solution / answer when someone send me an email and it doesn't alert me at the right time. In the settings of the mail option it has 4 choices (none, 5,15,30,1 hour) but it hasn't right now.
Same it seems to not sync to well, maybe the mail app is closing down now n then and only sync manually when opened I don't no but it isn't very good.

Install a 3rd party email app. Cloudmagic, AquaMail, Nine, etc. Thats the only solution for it so far
I want to share my experience with that - I often, read most of the time, don't get email alert on time. The mails are there but the phone is just not ringing...I tried several 3rd party email apps and the end result is always the same. From what I observed, the only on time delivery notification is still the google mail application. For me that's bad since I have 5 email accounts that I constantly need to be alerted of - shame I have to power on the phone, unlock it and check for mail...waste of energy (phones AND mine)...
