Hi everyone,
Basically I use K9Mail right now to sync two Hotmail POP3 accounts every 15minutes.. I've looked at partial wake usage and it seemed good compared to other mail apps, but was wondering if the following method would be better:
I figured I could create a new gmail account on my PC and set it retrieve Hotmail POP3 retrieval, therefore the account would do the periodic checking (and not my phone) and I could connect via gmail's IMAP connection (and I could still use the original hotmail smtp server to send via hotmail within the gmail account)
Do anyone know how much battery this method would save considering i have two accounts pulling every 15min?
(I could also set the retrieval setting in Gmail to as low as 7.5min if thats a valid option.. more likely every 10min)
I have another question as well, can gmail sync-delete with the POP3 server when a message is deleted in the gmail app (like the K9mail app does)?
