Setting up Gmail

[atulhyd]

Well, I've got Gmail set up with the messaging application on my Wizard running WM5. But this does not offer any option to setup peaktimes and offpeak times for the "Send and Receive" function. Only option is to set the interval in minutes.

Any solution.

I basically do not want to "Send/Receive" at nights and on Sunday....

Thanks in advance.

I know I have seen programs that do this, but for the life of me, I cannot find them. I wonder if they have all gone away, for some reason...

AHA!

Persistence pays off, at last. I have found this: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-bandswitch-v1-2-3.html

It functions like MoDaCo's (may require free registration to download files) NoData (http://www.modaco.com/content/Pocket-PC-Software/246171/New-FREE-Utility/) application (which I was prepared to offer you as a stop-gap measure) except for one HUGE difference, it has a sleep timer like you wanted...

You'll have to guinea pig yourself, I don't have time to put the app through its paces.

Sorry, link was dead, but I tracked down the cab file.

Use at your own risk. I just discovered it has a 15 day trial period, and the guy wants 10 Euro for the license. Seems kind of steep to me.

As a last resort, use NoData to disable everything before bedtime, and just switch everything back on when you get up. If I find something else, I'll post it here.

After some quick fooling around with my 8125 during lunch, I discovered that I can disable all network access (not just the phone) simply by putting my phone in airplane mode. Seems to block programs that automatically log on when functioning, too.

Give it a try.

Thanks for your replies... disabling network access is not really the solution I'm looking for. What I'm trying to do is reduce data traffic on the network (very expensive in India). Currently I've set up Gmail to be synched every hour instead of 15 minutes that I'd like to do. I hardly receive important email on Saturdays and Sundays. So I basically wanted to skip that.

Anyways, now I'm just switching off Auto synching on fridays and bringing it back on on Mondays... ;-)
