Email question on recieving

[MHB1638]

I have a question about the email on this phone. I'm coming from a BB Storm 2 where email was never a problem. OK, the Fascinate has its own built in email server to handle accounts, which I have 3 now (home network email, yahoo, & gmail). I noticed the accounts NON-Gmail would receive and would be days old. I can go to the internet and see 5-20 emails sitting, nothing being forwarded.
So, everyone seems to rave about K9 email app so I downloaded it and plugged all accounts into it. Well, now NONE of them are pulling emails from the server unless I click "check new mail."

Maybe I don't understand Android enough...but on my BB there was never a delay and I always got my email. I understand Android doesn't have a great email client like BB, but from understanding, it can go and pull the information on a set schedule...thus pull not push email. Well, Fascinates email client is set to receive often, although only gmail works that way. On K-9 there is no option to set for how often. So...what gives? Is this how this phone or Android in general work?

My wife's DX does the same thing with Yahoo...some days its instant other days its hours-to-days late. I called verizon and they said to download Yahoos own email client in the market....that the answer??

Yeah i dont know the answer to this, i would def try the yahoo app. for the DX but for fascinate it has some type of conflict...

i use Touchdown by Nitrodesk for my MS exchange mail. and let me tell you its pretty darn amazing.

i get my email on my phone faster than i get it to my computer. if you use exchange i would def say use the trial version see how you like it.

You shouldn't be having these problems with your email account(s).

Even though blackberry might have a better email client... android works pretty good for me.

There are a few troubleshooting steps you could try.
(1) uninstall/reinstall the email in question.
(2) check to see if sync is turn off.
(3) change download frequency.
(4) reboot phone by press and hold both the power and volume down rocker until white screen comes on, then follow steps to reboot phone.
PS. (You could also get the yahoo mail app from the market if all fail.)

Good luck.

Hi! Well, I figured out the settings for K9 so its set to "poll the server" every 1 minute. As for the factory email client, IDK what to tell you but for Yahoo it just wasn't happy. Didn't pull the info every 5 minutes as it was suppose to.
