Follow-up question regarding mail/Gmail:
I had originally set up my Gmail acccount using the Gmail app, but I don't like the functionality as it's not as intuitive to delete, forward e-mails, etc. I decided to set up Gmail on the regular MAIL app and then turned off the Gmail "auto retrieve" and notification settings. Just noticed today that the Google sync setting for "MAIL" was still set to AUTOMATIC. I just turned it off and am testing if that helps my battery.
Here comes the question: What is better, from a battery perspective: Using the Gmail app or the Mail app? Is there a consensus on this?
