Controlling Mail Inbox...

[hakr100]

I have gmail and my regular pop email set up on my Incredible. Well, almost set up. They seem to "grab" new mail automatically, instead of just when I want them to. I cannot seem to find settings for either app that allows me to control when and if new email is downloaded to the phone.

Suggestions?
Thanks!

For you POP mail, go into your mailbox then MENU>MORE>SETTINGS>SEND & RECIEVE>SET DOWNLOAD FREQUENCY

For the gmail, go into the gmail inbox then MENU>ACCOUNTS>MENU>ACCOUNT SETTINGS> and turn off Auto-Sync. You can also get here by being at the phones home screen then by going to MENU>SETTINGS>ACCOUNTS & SYNC.

Bear in mind that turning off google sync will also de-activate auto syncing of calendar and contact items, however when synced manually, they will do what they need to.

I too, am one who doesn't prefer the phone grabbing mail automatically all day long and just check it occasionally as I desire.

Oh, and btw, I just realized that it appears to me to automatically update/sync your email when you open up the inbox.
