Default e-mail help please

OK had my baby nearly a week now (1 week old Saturday).

I'd say definately well worth the outlay.

My e-mail is bugging me though.

Firstly, I have configured her to check for e-mails every 60 mins. Well it just ain't happening. I reckon she checks for my e-mails 2-3 times a day max. Of course I can go in at anytime and connect but, I want it to be automatic.

Secondly, my homermail wav file (e-mail notification works fine on SPV and xda 1) don't work all the time ? it plays sometimes but not all the time.

Lasty, when the server does check for mail, if I have cleared my pop3 account, through my pc then the nect check it downloads nothing and clears out all my e-mails, even if they are unread.

It's like if there is nothing on the server, it cleans my inbox on my xda 2.

I can understand why it happens but surely there are settings to prevent it (i can't find em). I like to keep some e-mails in my inbox, cus they can be useful. Sure they are on my pc but I want em locally and I don't want to sync my emails just my calender and tasks.

Cheers, Shire
PS still luv my baby, maybes I need a better e-mail application ?
