E-Mail Manual sync set but e-mail auto syncs

I have a Samsung S 8.4 Running Android V5.0.2. I use the Android/Samsung included e-mail program. For each account I have Set sync schedule set to Manual. I do have Sync Email checked as if it is not checked it will not perform a manual sync.

Problem is that it appears to perform a scheduled sync at least once a day.

How do I only sync manually without having to uncheck and check the Sync Email box fro each account?

Re: E-Mail Manual sync set but e-mail auto syncs

Welcome to Android Central! How do you know it's syncing once a day? Is it because you're opening the Email app to check? In my experience, many apps that are set to manually sync or refresh will still do so once when you open the app, even if you don't do a manual refresh yourself.

Nothing stands out. I log on with FP recognition and the number of received e-mails are displayed. I upgraded from a Tab2 running 4.1 never had this issue. Even when opening the app it would wait for manual sync command.

It's not a notification from the Gmail app, right?

No, I disabled the gmail app. Also just FYI, I disabled push services.
I did just notice something. If I shutdown or run out of battery, it syncs right after power on without opening the mail app or being prompted for a manual sync. Is there a way of stopping the auto sync on power up?

Hmm, I'm not sure then. It sounds like you've already turned off all of the settings you can.

Ok thanks to all. Did some more testing and looks like it only happens on a power up start not on a soft start. Will welcome any suggestions but I guess will have to live with it for now.
