There are two, different, ways that the K-9 mail client uses to retrieve mail -- "push" and "poll". If you have "poll" frequency set to "never" and you're still seeing retrieval actions, then I suspect you have "push" turned on.
To turn "push", off set the "push folders" option to "none". You can then turn the global background sync option back on and it shouldn't do any retrieval. [I often have background sync set to "never" and have never seen any ill effects.] To get more granular control, change the "push folders" setting to one of the class-level options offered, and adjust the individual folder push class settings to achieve what you are after. > Date: Wednesday, February 10, 2016 04:53:20 -0800 > From: Raul Andres del Canto Zahr <[email protected]> > > I hace the same problem. > > the problem with the solution proposed by richard ( - [global] > settings > network > background sync > never) is that K-9 will > start to misbehave with some actions, as when you delete mail. > > I think ([Folder Poll Frequency] > Never) should do what it's > supposed to do. > > This has many uses, for example, to check accounts used for > notifications, witch can get many emails each minute, and you > don't want to be notified each time.... or when you want to check > randomly shared emails, so to see if the back log is well > threaten by your employees.... > > El lunes, 1 de febrero de 2016, 9:33:42 (UTC-3), > [email protected] escribió: >> >> In my k-9-mail Settings--->Account Settings--->Fetching mail >> >> I set Folder poll frequency = Never. >> >> Even tough k9mail is constantly retrieving emails from my remote >> mailbox. >> >> Why? >> >> Ben >> ------------ End Original Message ------------ -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
