Change your sync schedule in the Email settings.
I never wanted to have a signature, but it seems I must. Please do not PM me directly for technical support. I mean it! No exceptions! Thank you.

Everyone (esPECIALLY n00bs) should read this.

Well, maybe it's different in ICS, but on GB, you open email, hit menu, hit more, hit account settings, hit sync schedule.

Though if you're talking about GMail, and not EMail, you can just turn off auto-sync in your Accounts and Sync settings.

Interesting you did not thank me, but thanked the guy who responded an hour after me, and said the exact same thing I did... but I digress.

Did you try going into the email settings as I suggested?

So obviously there are some differences in the email app from Gingerbread to ICS. It's just a matter of navigating the menu to find the options you're looking for.

When you open the email app, and hit menu, do you get a "Settings" or "Account Settings" option? (if so, do you see a "Sync schedule" option inside that?)
