I have Outlook Mobile set up to check 2 pop email accounts for mail. I am trying to maximize battery life throughout the day and would like a better understanding as to how this program "schedules" when it checks for email. For example, of the 2 accounts I have set up, one is for business and one is personal. However, I don't need to check my personal account as often as my business account.
So let's say I set my business account to check every 20 minutes and my personal account to check every 60 minutes. Does Outlook Mobile start "timing" the intervals as soon as I click Finish in the set up screen? Or, does it somehow "coordinate" the intervals with the other account even though they are set for different intervals? Using the above example times, will both accounts be checking at the same time once an hour and the one account check an additional 2 times in that hour? Or, will the personal account be checking at say 10:04 am when the business account is checking at 10:00 am?
