Nor getting emails right away

[tfletch85]

I have the s4 and it take 5 to 10 minutes for me to get an email to my phone. Why is that or is there a way or setting I am to do

Welcome to Android Forums.

When you say e-mail ... exactly what are you using to send the e-mail and what are you using to receive it?

It's hard to say without knowing your settings. Have you got it set up to "push" email for this account? IMAP or POP3?

This might be why they are so slow getting to you,I have my Hotmail setup as IMAP.

OK and when u have it set that way. When u go to delete an email does it delete from the server too

Yes,Or if I don't want it deleted.I just keep it in my inbox.

See I don't want my mails deleted from server. That's why I put it to pop.

I use imap push with my email but Maildroid gives me the option of whether I delete from device only or device + server. I expect other clients do too, but that was the easiest one for me to check. Don't know about the Samsung email client.

But if you use pop3 then yes, there will be a delay that depends on your polling interval.
