Email on Top

Hi Gater, Welcome to the forums


Do you have a hotmail account possibly polling for email, or using the windows live app for gathering email?

It's usually the Live app, in my experience.

If so, uninstall the Live app, reset up your email accounts using the built in email and add the hotmail accounts there. Then re-install the Live app, but do not let it poll the account(s) for email, set it to "No" email synchronization.

Yeah its annoying alright.

I have 5 email accounts on my phone, and had that issue in the past and it really pissed me off at the time.

It would open the mail app when doing other things, it didn't take over, though you could see it flicker as it loaded it again.

It could just be that the Live app is trying to do a "Real time" sync like the Exchange server can, or can be set too, and it causes the overall mail app griefage.

Presently, only my exchange account is "As items arrive", the rest are set to polling at 15 minute or 30 minute intervals.

Play with the account polling and timing some.


Hope you get it.

Peace

How DOES one remove Live - it's not in listed in my remove programs app?

I don't believe I got it from the marketplace. Could be wrong (I think the Office upgrade is clouding my memory). It isn't in the list of apps to be removed in Marketplace, either.

What I know I DID do, was add Hotmail via the Live app.

In an effort to prevent the unwanted behavior, I disabled all Live features, hoping that would be enough. (That was before I even noticed it wasn't uninstallable).

So now, I don't have the Hotmail account accessible in the inboxes.

Confused about your question - should I re-enable Hotmail before doing that? Is the order of the accounts significant somehow?

Right now, the swipe order is:
gmail1 > IMAPacct > funambol > gmail2 > gmail3 > outlook > messages

Thanks, that solved the problem of removing Live!

Now I'm testing. I made sure all tasks were ended, and launched the YouTube app.
Sure enough, my gmail inbox popped up within 5 minutes.
So I went in and set all email accounts to manual. Made sure I quite messaging.
Switched back to YouTube, and halfway through a video, my gmail popped up again.

However, I was just able to watch video uninterrupted for 20 minutes now. I reset just one gmail account to check every five minutes, and even after sending myself a test email from my laptop, YouTube has played on, uninterrupted. But 22 minutes later, gmail popped up.

Perhaps the task switching was preempted due to a text message that came in during that time - it popped up at the bottom, pausing the video. That's not as intrusive, though still undesirable when you don't want ANY interruption. Some further tweaking will be necessary to disable that, I imagine.

I am so sorry, this thread fell from my radar and I lost it.

Very glad RC was here to help in removing Live, that was the cause of my
 grief and mine opening all the time.

Ok, one other thing then if it's still opening up on it's own, is there more then one email account polling "As items arrive"?

Did you play with the polling times?

If so, set only one to poll like that, and the rest to staggered times, like check for email every 10 or 15 minutes on the extra email accounts and test it out.

Again,sorry this thread fell from my radar ASK, some help I am
