Wendi,
I wanted to visit this again, for there is a way to manually fetch the
mail. DUH, why in the world I didn't notice this before I have no
idea. It used to be under ver. 1.0 that once you opened mail it
would automatically begin to fetch the mail, under 2.0 it didn't do
that so I thought there was no way. Notice when you open the mail
icon there is a list of your accounts (if you have more than one) and
in the lower left corner there is a circular arrow, so touch that and
you don't see anything happen (at least on mine but I am having
problems with mail and have to take it in). If I then click on the
accounts then you will see that it is checking for mail. If you only
want to check one of the accounts then open that account and the arrow
is there in the lower left corner to push to check.

Many thanks to both John and Ed!
Maybe it's not just my ignorance! I get email on my iPhone about
every 2-3 days. NOT good enough! I do receive all those messages on
my computers, though, so I thought I must have my phone set wrong.
How do you manually fetch email on the iPhone?

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.
