Push means as soon as the email hits the mail sever it is sent out to your iPhone.
Fetch means that the email is retrieved when the email client on the iPhone log's on the mail sever and then downloads all the new email since the last log on to the mail sever. Now I really don't care about push I can wait a minute to get an email I have been using Fetch email for over 20 years and never saw a need for the push system. Why must we react that second to an email. Ways to save battery always put your phone to sleep with the top sleep button just don't let it go dark and go to screen lock if you have an active program it will still keep working eating up the battery. Turn off the Wifi is you are not around a Wifi base station. If your battery is low turn off 3G.

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
