Schedule mail checking

[rakh1]

Hi all,

I see I can set the email accounts to fetch check every 15 mins which is great - and play a sound when I have email - even better. However, I am often on call and need the phone on at night but do not want the 'you have mail' sound every time I get a spam at 03:00 :) Is there a way to schedule the email checking so it only occurs during daylight hours???

Yes - they're 'peak hours' on the activesync screen

I cannot see 'pak hours' so must be looking in the wrong place. Can you walk me through it? These are POP3/IMAP email accoutns by the way - not exchange - does that make a difference?

Hello,

I had the same demand and found with the Phone Suite from Spb the best solution. Beside some profiles like loud, meeting and so on you have the possibility to configure a time-controlled profile where you are able to disable the sms or mail.

For me between 11pm and 08am there are no sms and mail sounds - only telephone calls.

There is another very good reason for turning it off during night: saving the battery. As for the spb phone suite, it's an overkill and many of its functions conflict with existing ones added by HTC.

Does anybody know if there is a registry entry where the schedule is stored? If it is in the registry, it should be trivial to write a small program that allows you to turn off mail sync at night.

ok - I can see scheduling for my hotmail and itis perfect - only between these hours and either check every X mins or as they arrive. If only I could use the scheduling part for my POP/IMAP accounts...
