Scheduled EMail, WM6.1

OutLawTorn · 07-08-2008, 12:39 AM

Currently have an HTC Tytn II running windows mobile 6.1. For email i have two pop based accounts (no exchange access

to either of them) set to check every half hour.

However there is no way to restrict this, so it checks every half hour for 24 hours... meaning my phone vibrates every time an email comes through which is sometimes during the middle of the night (not that i actually check it)... So short of changing the email checking frequency for both accounts at the start and end of each night, is there a way to schedule when it does/doesn't check? Active sync you can restrict the hours it checks, but not for general pop accounts

I haven't played with 6.1 but I don't think that you can schedule the checking without a third-party application. You could also look at forwarding a copy of all of your pop3 email to a Windows Live account which does give you the ability to both schedule the times that it checks between and also allow you to use push email.

Cheers for that, mate

Setup my other accounts to forward a copy of emails to that account, which it then pushes to my phone.... perfect

Then just leave the other accounts there for sending email purposes...
