Hi,
Hey where is the sticky for "Official Android 2.1 Questions"? LOL
Anyway, I am brand new to Adroid and have only been using it for about a week. I made the switch because of the HTC EVO coming on June 4th, and wanted to get my feet wet before I get it, so I picked up a Hero and have been using it with the 1.5 version. However I just updated last night to the official 2.1 release and am having trouble getting my POP3 email account to automatically receive email. The only time it gets mail is when I open the email app and let it sit for a couple seconds. This used to work great on 1.5 and I have tried to set everything just like it was then, but I know that the settings configuration UI has been updated and things look different and things have been added. So yes in the email account settings under "Send & Recieve" I have the account set to update every 10 minutes, and under "Notification settings" I have all three options checked for "on". And under general settings for "Mobile Network settings" I have "Enable always-on mobile data" (don't really know if this is necessary, what it does or if I should have it on or not) checked for "on". Under "Accounts and sync" settings I have "Background data" checked for "on" and "Auto-sync" checked "on" (again this is a new setting and I am not sure what it does or if I need it). I am also using the "Advance task killer" as I was on version 1.5 and frequently have it kill all tasks running. I don't know if this is effecting things or not, it didn't used to in 1.5 as I would still always get my email automatically throughout the day. Do I now need to leave "Mail" running all the time to make this work? Or what am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
