about email notifications...

[Termin8]

How do you make it so the phone doesn't automatically check for emails? I get so few that it would be better for me to be able to simply do a "manual" check when I want, rather than have the phone check all the time. Besides, I don't NEED to be notified every time I get an email since most are crap anyway.

go to mail box

hit menu

hit more

hit settings

hit send and recieve

hit set download frequency

hit manual

You are the best! Thanks!
Ok, that worked for my Yahoo mail so how do I do the same with my Gmail?

 

[Caddyman]

not sure on gmail, don't use it.

edit: actually go to menu>settings>data sync>google>and turn off gmail sync

Thank-you sir. I was looking at that but was afraid I'd screw something up like lose all my contacts again.
I like that I can get my email on my phone but I simply don't get enough important emails that I NEED my phone downloading them 24/7.
Thanks again.

So now I get to ask the really elementary question. I set my email to manual, but now I don't see any check mail command. It has to be right in front of me. Would someone be so kind as to point to it, please?

press menu while in your inbox, then refresh
