Optimum K9 Mail settings?

[zombiebot]

All,
I've been searching for the best mail server, because we all know that the stock android server just isn't it. I've tried out stock android, Maildroid, GMail (with forwarding), K9, and a couple others. My personal preference so for is K9 because I like an all-in-one option, yet good separation of accounts.

So here's my question:
For someone who uses a mix of IMAP and POP accounts, what are the optimum settings for polling, pushing, message sizes, folder sizes, etc.
My goal is to receive mail as quickly as possible w/o draining my battery with constant syncing.

If there's an informative link out there, shoot it my way.
Thanks all.

I use K-9 for two IMAP email accounts (used to be POP but I changed them). I have them checking messages every 5 minutes and I think they're set to the second lowest message size setting. I don't use it for Gmail or Yahoo Mail because they have their own apps and I only use those for non-personal stuff. I haven't noticed a big battery drain with this setup and it's working fine.

Give your ideal setup a shot and if battery life seems to suffer, make adjustments to message checking frequency and message and folder sizes.
