Polling every minute does not sound reasonable. I think that what I'm doing is the standard approach: 1) push 2) poll when connecting for push Once connected, new mail arrives via the usual IMAP IDLE scheme (push). When first connecting -- or reconnecting after network loss or change -- polling finds out what happened while away. This works 99% great, with the problems being: some people's phones don't really do push because their OS won't let them. This hsas to be fixed in the OS. It seems to be possible to connect, poll, and then set push, resulting in a tiny window where a new message arrives after poll checks the state but before push, so that message doesn't arrive until the next message arrival or the next poll. This is highly rare. I don't know the details of your vendor flavor of android, but it really sounds like you have an overly aggressive OS that thinks your mail program shouldn't be connected all the time, and you just have to figure out how to deal with that. Maybe you can install lineage :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "K-9 Mail" group.
