How to Keep Checking Mail Without Screen Lighted?

I apologize for asking so many questions but I just got an iPod yesterday and it is my first iGadget of any kind.
I would like for it to keep checking mail and signal me when new mail arrives. I understood iPods would do this -- it's one of the main reasons I bought the thing. I've set it to give an audible signal when new mail arrives, but it doesn't seem to work. I've set a thing called Notifications to alert me except between midnight and 7am. But, it turns off (I think it calls this locking) every two minutes so if it can't check while locked it's pretty much useless for monitoring mail. I suppose I could set it to stay on continuously, but I imagine that will run the battery down in short order.
So, are there some special settings to make it check mail and tweetle new messages while "locked"
Incidentally it doesn't seem to alert me of new mail even after I turn it on. I have to activate the mail application to see if there's new mail. I guess it's possible there's a delay while it connects to the network and by the time it's connected I've already gone into the mail reader.

First of all, this is Apple Support Communities, and it was made for questions. You can ask as many as you need to, as long as they're in the correct "community".
Apple Mail app is slightly annoying in this aspect. Unless you are signed up for iCloud or Me mail, you wil have a long delay before you get alerted, even while you're using the device. To help slightly, make sure you go to your Inbox in the mail app before exiting. Also, some mail providers make their own apps, such as Gmail, that alert you instantly. Try searching the App Store for your Mail provideo's app. Hopefully Apple will fix this someday. I hope you can solve this!

Do you mean in terms of storage ? If so then you can't see it separately for the Mail app, it's included in the 'Other' category which shows at the bottom of the Summary tab when connected to your computer's iTunes - along with notes, calendar info, contacts and the contents of third-party apps.

Treo keeps checking mail even though set to manual update

I have my email update set to manual. But my 800W keeps checking for email. It's running my battery down. Short of deleting the email account and starting over, what am I doing wrong?
Background: When I first got the phone, I stupidly set it to check mail every few minutes until I realized that ran my battery down in about 5 hours. I set it to 'once per day' and it worked fine. Then a couple of weeks ago, I temporarily set it to 5 minutes or something like that for a specific situation. I then tried to change it back to once per day and/or manual. The value shows 'once per day' on the options page. But it ignores it now. Not sure how often it checks. But i get email notifications almost instantly every time an email arrives. And my battery is dying again. I've tried changing it around several times, rebooting, etc.
Anybody ever seen this? Am I missing something obvious?
Thx
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

Thanks for the response. I had long since tried everything you suggested.
I did quite a bit more testing and googling, and I think I've resolved it. But there are definitely some serious problems (My feeling is that these are code defects) in the 800w that caused this.
1) I created a new email account on my 800w, taking all of the default values
2) I set the email scheduler refresh rate on the account settings page to 1 day. But I found later that it made no difference what I set it to. Same results
3) I have my own hosting business and host my own email pop server. So I have easy access to the POP logs. Here is a snippit from the pop logs with "refresh rate = 1 day":
12/12/08 21:07:31 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
12/12/08 21:08:40 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
12/12/08 21:09:52 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
12/12/08 21:11:04 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
12/12/08 21:12:16 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
12/12/08 21:13:28 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
12/12/08 21:14:40 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
12/12/08 21:15:53 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
4) Note the time between each line. It's basically exactly 1 minute + 10-13 seconds. The 10-13 seconds is the processing of the POP call. When the POP call ends, it waits precisely one minute and checks again. I want to point out that there isn't even an OPTION on the refresh menu on the 800w to refresh once a minute. But it is indisputable from the log on my mail server that this is indeed what is happening. (I set up that pop mailbox specifically for my treo, and no other client mail app is accessing it.)
5) I changed all the values on the refresh time menu, and even turned off 'Send/receive when I send" option. I wasn't sending anyway. But I was just grasping at straws.
6) I then discovered that there are TWO places to set the refresh rate (???? that's a good design????). If you open the inbox and select Delivery Preferences from the menu, there is ANOTHER checkbox to "Connect and check for messages every...." with an entry field to enter the number of minutes.
7) Ok.. this is the defect in the code: That checkbox was OFF, and the entry field was gray. That obvious has to mean that I don't want to autocheck anything. (and that is the default way it comes up on a new account, which makes sense). But it appears the checkbox is being IGNORED in the code. It was indeed checking. And I suspect the empty grayed 'minutes' field was probably returning 0 or something like that to the code. So ignoring the checkbox and having a zero minutes refresh rate, it was probably defaulting to a minimum of 1 minute. But it should NOT be refreshing at all with that checkbox off.
8) I turned the checkbox ON and set the value to 15 minutes:
12/12/08 22:18:34 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.*******************.com
12/12/08 22:34:09 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.*******************.com
12/12/08 22:49:46 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.*******************.com
9) Note that as soon as I checked the checkbox and set the refresh to 15 minutes, that is indeed precisely what I have in my POP log. Oh, yeah... by the way... the much more obvious "Automatic Send/Receive" setting on the account menu is still set to 1 day... (why is that page and option even there???)
10) So in summary, you have one scheduler where the user can set a value that is completely ignored. And you have a buried checkbox that defaults to off and the code apparently doesn't check it and assumes it's always on.
I don't need any additional help. It's working now. But I think someone in development needs to take a serious look at how this is working based on my scenario and analysis above.
Thanks.

How to keep checked items in report

all I've a interactive report which has checkbox column but when I click pagination next or prevoius the checked item are lost. how can I keep checked rows when I paginate in apex 4.2? regards

You would need to populate checked items in a collection
http://www.inside-oracle-apex.com/checkboxes-in-tabular-forms-the-easy-way/
then have a dynamic action on refresh of the region to repopulate the checkboxes with some clever jQuery.
Jari would be the person I'd say would have something in the order of what you're after

How to keep e-mail data from being removed from the hotmail server when delelted from iphone IOS5?

Every time I delete any hotmail messages from my i-phone it is deleted from my hotmail account on the web. Any sugestions how to keep this data on the server and deleting it from iphone?

Yes, (but I don't know why you would want to do it this way...). Set up hotmail on your iPhone as a POP3 account.
Go to Settings > Mail Cont, Cal > Add Account > Add Other > Add Mail...
Fill the details in and as for the server info, use this website

Keeps checking mail

I think I might have a problem with my iPhone. It checks for mail whenever I use it, regardless of whether I go to the mail app or not. I've checked all of the settings and it's set to manually check for mail and never fetch the mail without me asking it to, but it still does.
Has anybody else had this problem

Add another email account to see if it affects that as well before you delete and re-add the account, switch the current Mail account "off" in Mail.

Checking mail without mail open?

I have searched and havent found anything on it, but is there a way to have mail automatically check mail every so often WITHOUT the mail program being open all the time? thanks in advanced

You can launch mail and close the Inbox window. Mail will continue to check on the schedule you set for it. If you get new mail, the Icon in the Dock will have the number of new messages in a red circle.

How to keep myspace mail from ending up in junk folder?

So far I've marked about 70 myspace messages as "not junk" and moved them out of the junk folder, but mail is not learning like it used to on Panther and it keeps puting them there. I tried adding the address to my address book with a wildcard (*@mail.myspace.com) or something similar, but that didn't work either.
How can I get mail to quit putting these in my junk folder... there doesn't seem to be a way to make an exception for an entire domain in preferences under junk.
Thanks!

Oh yeah, thanks!! Duh, I completely forgot rules could apply to junk mail as well. My mind is mush after upgrading.
Thanks!

How to set up Mail without own Internet account

I stay at different homes, using their Internet connections to check my e-mail online. If I get e-mail via the Internet, using any available network, how can I set up Mail? Mail asks for my incoming and outgoing server, but I am using any available network. Can I use Mail at all without my own Internet account? What if I use the account of a family member or friend who has Internet at their residence?

Well, you need a permanent email address somewhere to which all your email goes. You cannot use web mail addresses such as the free email accounts at Yahoo or Google because they are not accessible from Mail.
If your parents have cable internet service from RoadRunner, for example, then they can authorize an email account for you. Your email address would be something like "[email protected]" You would set up the account as you would normally using the ingoing and outgoing mail servers provided.
Now when you are at some other location on the internet you can retrieve your email by simply letting Mail fetch it from your email address. If you need to send email then you will need to provide the outgoing mail server address used by the internet mail system you are now using. You can add this as a second server so it's easy to switch between them when you need to.
I suggest you look at Mail Help from Mail's Help menu where you can search for more information on configuring Mail.

How not to check mail for VPN only mail accounts?

I have a internal mail server that is only accessible via VPN.
How can I tell the iPhone not to check the mailbox without first being connected via VPN?

Unfortunately you can't. Technically, you should be able to set it to manual and be done, but there seems to be a bug in the entire PUSH/FETCH/MANUAL algorithm.
I have found that the iPhone will check for email of POP3 accounts that are set to manual when it pulls PUSH email or even if I go into any inbox.
If you are worried about revealing your password, there is some good news. Even if the phone goes to check your email that is behind a VPN server, it won't send the password until the TCP connection is established with the email server. Since this connection is never established, there is no password sent.

How do keep e mail attachements on server / reduce attachement size of pictures send by Q10

Hi there, i just have received my new BB Q10...a wonderful device, but as i am a long time user of prior BB phones i am missing the data compression now a lot...specially as i am using it a lot for international business trips and data roaming is an issue!
Now at least every Android or iPhone does have the feature that you can set e mail settings to allow keeping attachements on the server and to make manual download if you decide to open attachemnet...BB Q10 does not offer this feature....all e mails received have attachement in full size downloaded already! :-(.
Sending an e mail and using for instance a picture, taken with Q10 also does not allow to reduce the size of the picture...(like on Android and iphone you can select...low...middle...large size at least)
For me the main reason of using blackberry was data compression and the low size of data traffic...
Now by out of the blue it is opposite! I even cannot decide to keep attachements on server...every smartphone can do this...so BB changed from a data traffic saving item to a data traffic wasting device...:-(
This is a 100% turnaround by BB...is there any solution for BB user who do not use enterprise solution?
Will you offer those basic settings on your Q10 and Z10 devices new operating software in the next update?
This cannot be difficult!
Thanks for digging into this issue!
best regards from Vienna,
Rafael

i put that setting "automatic download" on OFF from the first day on...it does not make any difference.
Technical service line of my carrier in Austria (A1) told me, that this function IS ONLY AVAILABLE for BB enterprise solutions...not for "ordinary" POP accounts...
I want to give a better scope of what it means:
After 5 days of using the new Q10...my data consumption is over 450 MB! (only e mail)
Before is used up less than 15 MB for an entire month!
Once it comes into ROAMING (important for business travellers) this is getting dramatic!
ANOTHOR issue:
Try to send a picture taken with BB Q10...Settings only allow adjustment of aspect ratio....not size...if you send for instance 3 pictures as e mail attachement...your mail has 6 to 8 MB...considering you are "under Roaming" and pay 3 Euro per MB (CHina) you just created an e-mail worth 20 Euro approx! There is NOT ANY WAY to reduce the picture size (as EVERY other smartphone can do) or do decide to make a picture with lower resolution....
Frankly speaking it is totally nonsense to send such big files! 100 to 300 KB file size for jpg i totally enough to watch on screen...except you want to print posters...furthermore i force the receiving party to download hugh amounts of data...
the only winners in this game a carriers....because your billing will be HIGH...
I once again make the statement that BB changed from the MOST efficient work tool to the MOST UNEFFICENT smartphone i experienced....at least for somebody who is aware about data consumption and probably for every user who is travelling a lot internationally...
before i heard business partners arguing about their iphones and android phones that they create such high roaming bills...i was smiling at them with my BB...NOW with Q10 i am in an even worse position...as those users of iphone and android phones can select between automatic download, file size and same for taking pictures and sending pictures...
To answere another question....it does not make any difference...pdf, xls, doc, jpg...all is downloaded at once...(noticable also on the green check mark next to the attachement bar...)
PLEASE BB FIND AN UPDATE SOLUTION FOR THIS! i do not want my mobile phone bill more expansive than my entire business trip!

Computer Keeps Checking Mail While Sleeping

This has only started happening maybe for a couple of weeks - never did it before, and I haven't changed any system settings... But after putting the Mac to sleep, I will keep hearing the "new mail ding" sound all night - it's very disturbing! Why would this happen when the computer is supposed to be asleep? (I have lowered the volume so I don't hear it, but I still want to know why it's doing it and how to stop it!!)
I'm using Mountain Lion on a Mac Pro desktop from 2009 if that makes any difference...
Thanks for any help!

Check your email Preferences. Check how often you want your email client to alert you for mail.
Another thing you can do is to make sure you quit out of your email client prior to putting your computer to sleep. Why have it open if you & the MP are going to be sleep?

How to keep Flash in Full Screen on Dual Monitors

Hi,
I have a simple question. What should I do, to make my application (written in Flex SDK 4.5.1) staying in Full screen when I work in 2nd monitor - like Youtube and Euronews player (http://www.euronews.com/news/streaming-live/) ?
I don't know, how should I embed my application correct or add something to source code to make it work? My application is working correct in Full screen mode, I can use keyboard etc. but I'm not able to make this working - it's always going back to normal when it loose focus.
I have read many topics on this forum and internet, so I'm not interested in solutions like: http://flash-full-screen-multiple-monitor.clangen.com/en/ or .dll tricks like http://lifehacker.com/5419028/keep-flash-videos-in-full-screen-on-dual-monitors
If Youtube and Euronews is working with normal Flash (my current 11.9.900.117) there must be a way?
If someone can type code examples (like for a total dummy ), it will be great.
Thank you.

You'd want to ask in the Flex forum or Flash Professional forum, since you CANNOT edit ANY Flash content with Flash Player.
