How frequent is mail checking?

I am trying to decide which email service to use on my iPhone
So far I have setup Yahoo (which is my real email service), a gMail account and a trial .mac account.
None of the settings seems to allow you to say how often the phone should check your email system for new messages.
Yahoo has the push technology, which by reading the forums you learn is very sporadic at the moment.
What about gmail and .mac? When I send test emails to them from my Mac they sometimes arrive in a minute, other times it can take over an hour.
If I go into mail on the iPhone I can ask it to refresh, which retrieves the emails but surely the point is that it should periodically check for you

You know something, I was in the middle of replying to this email with the response...
"Where? I can not see that option"
then I found it -- thanks for that, I totally missed it

How to change mail check rate?

Is there a way on the iPad 3 to change the rate at which the e-mail program polls the (in this case my own) server to check mail? I'd like to set it to check mail less often to avoid collisions with other mail clients on the POP3 server.

Try settings / mail, contacts, calendar and then the option about half way down 'fetch new mail'.
Hope this is what you mean.

How often does mozilla check for mail?

I simply want to know how often Mozilla Thunderbird checks for new mail. Can I change this time period to more or less often?

As often as you tell it to check. Note, some email providers limit the frequency with which one is allowed to check for new mail. An interval of less than 10 min doesn't really make sense.
Tools (Alt-T) - Account Settings - Server Settings
Check for new messages every x minutes.

HT201342 How do I spell check when composing an e-mail?

How do I spell check when composing an e-mail

Webmail sites typically have a link tool that appears on the formatting bar above the compose box. The specifics might vary but generally speaking, if you click the button for the link tool, paste the link, then OK that, a link should be inserted at the current cursor position.
To see what I mean for Yahoo! mail, check out this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/938081 url is not highlighted when sending it on an email and cannot be directly accessed].
Does that help?

How do you control how frequent your iPhone4 gets mail?

Just wondering where can you change the setting to control how frequent your iPhone4 goes and gets all your new mail. I would like to change it to less frequent, if possible. Thanks.

Have a look at the manual:

How to disable login mail checking?

I would like to disable the mail checking on each login: I am not interested in seeing "No new mail" or else each time I login in a console. In other distributions, there was a specific setting in /etc/login.defs:
MAIL_CHECK_ENAB = no
I do not find this option in the arch /etc/login.defs, nor it is mentioned in man login or man login.defs; trying to set it anyway results in login complianing about badformed configuration file.
I also tried to comment out both MAIL_DIR and QMAIL_DIR, but without success.
Is there an other method to get this result? Thanks in advance for your help.

I have finally solved this issue, after only 4 months (it was my first issue using archlinux). Since the most part of shadow functionality is managed by pam, /etc/login.defs is not used at all. I had to edit /etc/pam.d/login. I had to comment out this line in that file:
# session optional pam_mail.so dir=/var/spool/mail standard
I am very satisfied, I hated those unuseful "No new mail"

Random iphone 3g battery drain ... appears to be a background mail check

Phone Info: Model: 16GB/Black, 3g ON, OS 2.0.1, Mail: Push On and Manual Fetch, Location SVCs ON, LCD auto bright, Own this phone for 20 days.
I noticed (twice) that my phone battery drained up overnight after a full charge 5 hours earlier. It happened once with OS 2.0 and other time with OS 2.0.1. I started suspecting background apps (while the phone is in standby - blank screen) probably doing some unnecessary work and draining the battery juice.
I did some investigation during last week to turn on/off various parameters to close on which app is causing trouble. It appears to be Apple mail program! If I turn off all mail accounts, phone "Settings->General->usage meter" goes up by approx. 1min/hour when the phone is in standby. With my 3 mail accounts (2 yahoo and 1 gmail) on, usage meter goes up anywhere from 4-12 mins/hour or lot longer in some cases. This translates to about 100-250 mins of phone usage time/day without really opening up the phone. On 3G phone, 4 hrs of usage is where battery goes from full to 10% charge.
Details: The above problem doesn't happen always! This happens only when mail application spins in the background for a *long time* to fetch or sync mail. When it happens you see a rapid battery drain in standby. This is a most common scenario when you have a network connection (web browsing OK) but somehow the mail sync up (thru' SSL POP) takes forever. This is what I tried to reproduce: Goto mail->open account1->open inbox .. when it is spinning to fetch mail manually.. 30-45sec later give up and try another mail account..repeat above and press home button finally(at this point as a typical user you waited 1-2 mins to get mail on Wifi and gave up.. we are talking about your inbox having zero new in/out mails!. This is just for syncing your phone with the server). You can press standby and turn off the phone screen. Check couple hours later and usage meter goes up by how long the mail was spinning in the background.
I think the right implementation is Apple Mail should turn off background check when the user closes the app! OR at the least detect the phone is in standby and stop spinning after a small timeout.
Mail Push on or off has no effect on the problem. No other settings (3g on/off, GPS...) have any effect.. they don't increase background battery usage!
Appreciate your posts on any workarounds or fixes to this problem.

I'm flying blind here, a little, because I'm not currently using a 3G iPhone. However, I use MobileMe on my iMac, MacBook Pro and a Windows Vista laptop. Keep in mind that MobileMe syncs not only your email, but your calendar, contacts, bookmarks, etc. If possible, turn off MobileMe at night when you don't need to sync. See if that stops the spinning globe. When Apple changed from dotmac to MobileMe--offering "push" email, calendar updates, etc.--battery drain on the iPhone was bound to happen, because it takes battery power to connect to the MobileMe server. That's true of BlackBery's as well as any other mobile device using "push" technology.
Turning your POP and other email accounts off probably doesn't change MobileMe's synching with calendar, contacts, bookmarks, etc. I've noticed when I make a change on my MacBook Pro or iMac that the change does not take place immediately, unlike a BlackBerry connected to an Enterprise server. I'm assuming you're not using ActivSync with an Enterprise server. Neither do I since I use the BlackBerry Internet Service (BES). Emails, using BES, usually hit my BlackBerry before hitting Apple Mail on my Macs, but BEST is only pushing email.
Best answer to problem? Turn off your iPhone at night and save battery power. Not a perfect solution if you want to take phone calls at night. But until AT&T improves its 3G network (more towers, more 3G radios, etc.), that's the easiest way to keep your battery powered.
I explain the battery power situation in my V1 iPhone review. Google "Mobile Telephony Innovations iPhone" and you'll see the review listing.

How to E-mail movies that are in the iPhone 4s Video app

I recently had to wipe my 4s to check a potential send/receive timeout with Verizon FiOS E-mail (that issue is still unresolved). When I originally purchased the unit, all the pictures and videos that were on my old Blackberry were transferred to the 4s. I exported the entire Camera Roll to my PC prior to the wipe/re-install.
I was able to use drop the pictures into the "My Photo Stream\Uploads folder on my PC. The Photos are now back in my Camera Roll and can beemailed by the unit.
However, it has been a labor to get my Videos back. I cannot get them into the Camera Roll folder. I managed to use iTunes to moved them over to the Videos app on my 4s. The videos play perfectly, but since they are now in that folder, there is no way to E-mail the videos from the device. Does anyone know of a way that I can either get those videos back into the Camera Roll, or how I can mail enable the videos in the Videos app.
I also tried using Dropbox to no avail. It is a bit convoluted, but one time I was actually able to use Evernote, but unless you upgrade to the full version of Evernote, you are limited to the number of uploads/E-mails per month.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for any help.

Control Click gives me choice:
Edit
Remove
Copy
Nothing about duplicate address
Even when I click on Previous Recipientd List there are not duplicates.
Am a missing a step?

Hi Pankaj Sharma,
The suggestion above would be a good solution to you. However, if you do not want to use this add-on, you may just configure SBO-Mailer to perform the task. You may check all available setting for the mailer and read through Administrator Guide for how to set it up.

How to make Mail stop marking messages from my Contacts as Junk?

I use Mail to access both my Gmail and Mac mail. Mail has begun marking as Junk messages from my Contacts, including VIPs. In Preferences, I have checked the boxes to have Contacts and Previous Recipients exempt from email filtering, yet they still sometimes end up marked as Junk and sent to the Junk folder. These are all Gmail messages: I use my iCloud account very little. I've unchecked the Trust junk mail headers... and Filter junk mail before applying my rules. I don't see how to make Mail leave my Gmail alone! Can anyone help?

Google recommends turning off Apple mail Junk filters if using gmail filters.
