Default Two issues with automatic e-mail checking

I've set up automatic mailbox checking every 15 minutes. Works fine in general, but I've found two issues with it:

1) I've used KaiserTweak to disconnect active data session automatically after 1 minute of inactivity. Work ok, unless phone is sleeping. So, for instance, if GPRS/3G data connection for automatic email check is initiated while phone is sleeping, it WON'T turn off after 1 minute. When I switch phone back on from sleep and keep it awake for more than minute - then it will disconnect. Is there any way to overcome this problem?

2) Usually, when new SMS message comes in, phone is awaked and I can see the message straight on the screen. Unfortunately this is not the case with emails - when new mail arrives through automatic check, I can only hear new email sound and light starts flashing amber, but phone iself is still sleeping, and I need to turn it on manually.

Anyone stepped into these issues before and found any solutions? Thanks in advance.

It's dead easy - when you set up a new mailbox through wizard (username, password, servers etc.), the last screen asks whether you want to check email automatically every xx minutes/hours or manually...

Ah. Thanks for that, been bugging me for days

I'll keep an eye out for the issues you're having, see if it''s the same with my phone.

Ill repost in here, as i know what its like when a new thread is started, the first few replies are to search ... this is proof i have tried

Im also noticing that the "disconnect after 1 minute" doesnt work when in standby mode, which kinda defeats the object. Is there a fix anywhere so it disconnects after a minute even while in standby mode ?
