[Q] K-9 Notification - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have started using K-9 for my email, like it because I get all of my emails readable instead of getting blank ones with stock email client. The only thing that promotes a problem is the notifications. In the stock client you had an option of peak and non peak polling and I can't find that in K-9. I keep getting woken up in the night because of email usually spam at that time. Have thought of turning off the notifications in K-9 and leave the ones on in stock client to get around this but would like to know if there is another way or option that I am missing. Thanks for any help you guys can give.

Yahoo Mail on EVO, Sent Mail Vanishes

I've been all over the place for this issue, and no one has been able to solve it.
I have Yahoo plus as my main email and installed it on my EVO, under the "Mail" icon. My issue is that anything I send from there, is delivered to the recipient, but there is no record of the sent message on the Yahoo Servers. This force me to use 3rd party apps, which I don't like, as it doesn't have the services/options, and they are required to "poll" for my messages, instead of being automatically pushed to my phone, which is a huge drain on battery, that is already less then average. I typically get over 100 emails a day, so I can't have it only polling once in a while, as I will never catch up.
Does anybody know what settings to use, so as to fix this problem, as neither Sprint, HTC, or Yahoo have a clue?
Also, has anyone found a app for SMS texting contact, without putting them in V-card format?
I currently have Roid1.0 and K-9 Mail, neither of which I'm too fond of.

[Q] Old/read emails are showing up as unread

This has been bothering me for the longest time and I just can't figure it out. Hopefully someone else can shed some light.
I use k9 email with my webmail through network solutions. I have it set to never delete messages when I receive them, only when I remove them from either inbox. This is so that I can get them on both my phone and laptop. Well I constantly have new email reminders popping up, but when email is opened, it is emails that I have already read, usually older than a week.
Anyone else run into this problem and is there any way to fix i?. This is very annoying. As far as I can remember, this behavior was the same with the default mail app as well.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Email: can I filter and sync differently?

I realised yesterday that about 80% of my email is work-related, and I've had enough of seeing it out of work hours... it's the old problem with push mail, you can become a slave to it and while I'm happy to hear from mates in the evening/weekend, I don't want to hear from work. So what I want to do is have all my mail sync'd in office hours, but only the 20% of non-work stuff out of hours.
All my mail comes into a gmail account, and I use the calendar of that account too, so it has to stay on my phone. One way I thought of doing it is to set up filters for the 20% in gmail and forward it to a secondary account. That's as far as I got! It would be nice to be able to handle it all within the gmail app, but maybe I could use the HTC app in some way, with something like locale automatically switching the sync options around?
Anyone else had to deal with this?

Help setting email properly (iPhone user/Android noob here) using K9 mail

OK. I need some help PLEASE. I'm trying to migrate to a GS3 from an iPhone 4. My GS3 is stock, t-mobile, and no mods, just downloaded some apps.
OK: I have GMAIL, the "EMAIL" app that was stock, and I added K9 mail. All 3 are configured with my 2 email accounts I use. I have disabled notifications on Gmail and Email, and let notifications on in K9 because K9 was the only one I was able to get to format the emails FIT TO SCREEN - the other 2 wanted me to scroll left and right which seemed really strange to me, and I am use to the way iPhone handles email, which does always fit width to screen... and K9 did that so I liked it the best because of that.
Apparently it CONTINUOUSLY connects thru whatever network/data connection you have (wifi/mobile) and EATS battery and bandwidth. I had to set sync to never to stop it. Now of course, I'm not being notified of emails arriving at my box(es).
Obviously I'm doing something wrong? My goal is to have this phone sync contacts with my gmail account (like my iphone did with google-sync-exchange).. and get instant email notifications pushed to my device (like my iphone did).
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

Peak / Off Peak email schedule

I've seen a few slightly older threads about this but wanted to ask if anyone has a workable solution now.
In the past I've owned skinned HTC and Samsung phones and the email client has included the ability to set different synching periods for peak and off peak. This is missing from the nexus' stock email client.
What I want is to always have my work exchange email set to push during the day but either entirely manual or maybe every few hours otherwise. I would also like my gmail account to keep push mail on at all times.
I've looked into a few things like tasker, timerific and synker and a few third party email clients but nothing seems quite right.
I can kill all synching but I want my gmail synched, I can silence notifications / vibration etc but I'm still going to be using my phone in the evenings and if widgets etc are telling me I have work mail then I'm going to end up reading it :-(
I'm happy to consider pretty much anything that will sort this for me so please, any advice appreciated.
touchdown does this quite fine. i use it for my work email.
not sure about the stock client however.
I'll have another go but last time I looked at touchdown it was rather ugly.
I quite like the stock client :-(
Anyone else?
Does your samsung stock email client do push for gmail and yahoo on sgs3 i9300? I can only set to poll ar minimum 5min.
