E71 - Difference between Email Notifications & Ema...

Question

I have been trying to achieve as close to Push Email as possible on the E71. While setting up IMAP Accounts, there is the option to chose either one of the two settings under Email Settings : One is Email Notifications & the other is Email Retrieval.
What I found is that if you choose one, you cannot choose the other. Whereas, Mail gets onto the device only when Email Retrieval is selected.
Could anybody here throw some light on this issue ?
Thanks & regards,
Walter

Answer 1

Strait from the manual:
Retrieval settings
To define the retrieval settings, select the e-mail account,
select Options > Edit > Retrieval settings, and define the
following settings:
• E-mail to retrieve — Select whether you want to retrieve
only the e-mail header information such as sender, subject
and date, e-mail, or e-mail with attachments. This setting
is for POP3 mailboxes only.
• Retrieval amount — Select the number of e-mail
messages you want to retrieve from the remote server to
your mailbox.
• IMAP4 folder path — Define the folder path for folders to
be subscribed. This setting is for IMAP4 mailboxes only.
• Folder subscriptions — Subscribe to other folders in the
remote mailbox and retrieve content from those folders.
This setting is for IMAP4 mailboxes only.
Automatic retrieval settings
To define the automatic retrieval settings for an e-mail
account, select the account, select Options > Edit >
Automatic retrieval, and define the following settings:
• E-mail retrieval — Select Enabled to retrieve new e-mail
messages automatically from your remote mailbox, or
Only in home netw. to retrieve new e-mail messages
automatically from your remote mailbox only when you
are in your home network and not, for example, traveling.
• Retrieval days — Select the days on which e-mail is
retrieved to your device.
• Retrieval hours — Define the hours between which the
e-mail is retrieved.
• Retrieval interval — Select the interval between
retrieving new e-mail messages.
• E-mail notifications — Select whether you want to
receive notifications on received e-mail.
So, I think you want to have:
E-mail Notifiations - Disabled
E-mail retrieval - Enabled
Retrieval days - Every day
Retieval hours - All day
Retrieval interval - Every 5 minutes
