Hi Guys
Have some question
In order to use the market i had to define google email account.
I don't want to work in the push mode with the google email, so i disabled the google sync through "Accounts & sync", but i want to receive google emails every 4 hours.
So i defined the google email account under Mail and defined to receive email every 4 hours.
Problem:
The problem is that because the Google sync is disabled i can not get the google emails every 4 hours.
Question:
Is there any solutions to disable the push google mode and work with 4 hours
email check.
Thanks for the assistance.

Not too sure, but I would think receiving email every 4 hours would still require it to be running in push mode? Which would explain why you need sync to be turned on.
Not 100% sure, and would be interested to hear other opinions or solutions to your problem.
In addition i put attention on additional issue,
When my Google sync is ON i receiving emails in push mode to the gmail application , and the strange issue that these emails are not updated on the "MAIL" screen (where i configured the gmail account).
Hope the issue is clear ....
have you defined the gmail app in the mail app as POP, IMAP or Exchange?
DOn;t use POP.
But the sync in Gmail and the mail app should not be related to each other whatsoever. Mine works fine when i set it up to IMAP.
of course, make sure you have always on mobile turned on and have the internet enabled, otherwise all should be gravy....

I actually get notifications of emails much faster in the Gmail app than I do in the default Mail app. Gmail would instantaneously notify me of any new mail as soon as one is sent. For the default Mail app, it takes at least 5-10 mins before it does that.
I'm not sure if it's because for the default Mail app, the shortest interval you can select for receiving data is 5mins, but for the Gmail app, it's either turned on or off, which might make it instantaneous.

This is the issue that i don't want to use the push ( which is the fastest way to receive email), i just want simple gmail configuration which will connect to the mail server every 4 hours and download the messages.
BTW the push requires much battery use (not sure).

I think for the Gmail app, it has to be push. Is there any reason you wouldn't want to use the default Mail app, sync to your gmail account, and set the retrieve interval to be 4 hours? That would solve your issue, would it?
Did the same. Just create an Exchange Acc - Sync every X mins/hours (or Push if you want to).

I dont think this is true, due to push email, makes the server from google to basically push email, if there is no email, it doesnt use internet every 4 hours to connect to google server to look for new mail therefore saves battery, while downloading 1 by 1 when they come is equivalent to getting a lot of email at once, for example 1 email every hour = 4 email at once every 4 hours.

I am not sure it's correct if you gets everyhour 1 email and you need to download it every hour, then i think it's better to connect once and download all the emails (once in 4 hours). But it's not important, i just want to be able to configure the mobile phone according to mine requirements.
Thanks for the respond.
The main reason to disable the push mail, is to disable the night emails.
Is there any possibility to disable the push during the night.
Thanks
I'm coming from an evo 4g and I loved how you could edit the frequency of refreshes and have only email pushed from a day, 3 days, and etc on the sense UI.
Is there a good replacement app that does something similar to this on all email accounts? Or if the touchwiz has something similar, please point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Go into the email app, and then your account settings and check the sync schedule. You have change it there and even set it differently for peak/off-peak times. Like my work email I have it set to push m-5 from 5am-11:59pm then all other times and weekends I have it check every 4 hours. There is an option "Period to sync email" which controls how far back it pulls the email. ie.. 3 days, week, all
I don't think the stock email app "pushes" anything, just lets you choose intervals to check for email, which is why i use K-9 mail instead (despite the arcane U.I). I have 2 email accounts that support IMAP IDLE and K-9 supports IMAP IDLE push. Works great.

If you have Exchange then push is an option.
Ah yeah that's what I meant just checking the intervals. Although I don't know what the difference is between the two lol. I'll check out the k9 app though.
Thanks for the reply guys. I just realized I have to go into each email account individually to to change the interval settings. My two primary email accounts are gmail and hotmail.

You can also get normal hotmail to push. If you set it up manually as an exchange account and in the server field type in m.hotmail.com.
Hi all,
I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 with the default Email client.
I have various email accounts, but want to set the syncing options (times, peak, off-peak) separately, but I seem to be unable to do this. The only one which is giving me options to set the syncing is the Hotmail one, which allows me to set separate peak and off-peak syncing, the rest only allow me to set syncing intervals.
My issue is that I have some accounts for which I need emails to come through 24 hours a day, and others that I only want during normal office hours, but (apart from the Hotmail account) I cannot set this up individually.
On my previous HTC I was able to set this up separately for each account, I assumed it was a standard Android Email app, but I guess I must have been wrong!
My question is, have I missed something in the settings?
If it's not possible, is there an email app that I can download that will allow individual sync settings per account?
Thanks in advance!
So I don't know if it's just my phone, but push notification of emails in Gmail does not work. There is not option in settings to have Push notification. It only lists never, every 15min, 30 min, hour, 4 hours, once a day... and even when I put it on every 15 minutes, it doesn't notify me when I have an email. I have to manually go in the Email app and refresh the email. My hotmail works great though and it has an option for Push. Did I set up the sync schedule wrong? I have peak schedule at every 15 min, off-peak at every 30 min, peak days selected for every day of the week, peak start time at 6:00am, peak end time at 2:00am and manual for while roaming. This is another concern of mine for this phone. My iphone did a great job of notifying me when emails came in.
Thanks!
Questions:
Under Settings -> Accounts and Sync ... Is sync set as on?
When you click on your gmail account name, it should give you a list of things to sync (mine has: calendar, contacts, gmail)
Is Gmail checked as on?

I can't seem to find what you're talking about. I'm pretty new to android. Would you happen telling me what settings to go to? Device settings? Email settings? I'm using the email app for gmail, not the gmail app since I have more than I email address.
Thanks
You'll have to set up your Gmail as a separate "Exchange ActiveSync" account to get proper Push.

That is so much better. Thank you so much!
Btw, you can use the Gmail app with multiple Gmail accounts. I use it for all of mine, and the email app for non-gmail accounts.

Hey guys....
Not sure if its posted anywhere else, I had a check and can't find out what I am after...
Anyways, I have a Rogers/AT&T S3 that I want to change the email and contact sync interval on. Instead of it checking every 15 minutes, I only want it to check let's say... every 2 hours or so. Is there an option somewhere that I can change that on? Maybe an app or something to help out with that?
I've turned my sync off altogether to save battery and I keep forgetting to check my emails... I'm just wondering if there's an in between setting...
Hi! It depends on what type of mail account you are using.
Gmail (Google accounts) and enterprise email (Microsoft Echange ActiveSync accounts) are pushed to your phone. So you don't have (and cannot) change the update frequency of these accounts: when a change occurs in the mail server -- a new mail arrives, a new contact is created, a new appointment gets added to your agenda... --, the mail server sends the update to your phone. It's not the phone who initiate the update: it's the mail server.
If you use POP or IMAP (Email accounts) to retrieve your mails, you can control the sync frequency. Contrary to a pushed protocol as described above, POP and IMAP are pulled mail protocols -- means: the phone has to initiate the sync process. It's the phone who contact the mail server to check if there are updates to download.
You can select the sync interval when you first add the Email account. To change the sync frequency for an already existing Email account:
Go to Settings and, under Accounts, select your Email account you want to modify;
Next, click on Settings to change the settings for this account;
Again, select your Email account in the list;
Scroll the settings and select Sync schedule;
You can now configure when should your emails for this account be synced. You can configure Peak schedule and Off-peak schedule to auto-sync between 15 min to once a day.
