Wendi,
Apple is having a mess with this email on the iPhone. I don't get ANY
during the day, then later in the evening I will get all the day's
mail, some days I never get it. Hopefully they will soon get these
bugs worked out.
At this point the only "Push" is with accounts that are at MobileMe,
that is all I have the option for on the iPhone. This means that as
soon as the mail hits THEIR servers it will be pushed to your phone
(and one day to our computers). The fetch is cycled through every 15
min. which means the mail hitting your non MobileMe accounts will be
sent to you every 15 min. and not instantly. When Ver. 2.0 first came
out I timed the emails from MobileMe to the iPhone and it was around 9
to 11 seconds after it had left my Mac. What in the world the
problems is now that I don't get any mail on the iPhone I sure hope
they soon fix.
I also have learned that my battery last much longer if I always go
back to the "Home Page" on the iPhone. If I leave an application on
top, or open it appears the battery is like this large sucking sound
and I can watch the indicator sinking into the sunset. I have the
"Recorder" app. and I left it open at all times to make myself audio
notes I didn't have to go through all the pushing of the icons. Bad
idea, battery didn't last any time.
I have watched this with other apps and it seems to make a difference
so now when I dock at night I have only used about a third instead of
the entire charge.

Hi, all,
I've had lots of trouble with not receiving email on my iPhone since
the migration to Mobile Me. Maybe I just need an education - it's
usually operator error!
What are the differences between push and fetch? How do you manually
fetch data? Any recommendations on settings for better battery life?
Many thanks,
Wendi
