iPhone randomly checks email automatically

[Bill1975]

I have an iPhone 3g, jailbroken, OS version 3.1.2. Even before jailbreaking, I noticed that the Mail app would randomly check my email accounts, and notify me of new email. I have all my accounts, and mail settings set to manual, with no automatic checking for email. It is not a huge deal, but I'm curious as to why it's doing this, and how to keep it from doing so.

Settings>Mail>Fetch new Data>TURN PUSH OFF

just make sure push is disabled there and you should be golden

[Bill1975]

Push has always been set to off. Fetch is set to manual.

[dantehman1]

theres nothing else running is there that uses push???

[Bill1975]

Nope. I've noticed it seems to happen mostly when I open my text messages. It has also happened on occasion when I open the "maps" app.

My 3g does the same thing.

Push- off
fetch- manual

I think certain native apps cause this when they are opened

I've noticed that after I open SMS, maps,etc. It will let notification through for things like facebook, and pull in new mail

It also happens when you make or recieve a call.

[Bill1975]

Yes, I think that has happened once or twice as well, but I couldn't remember. Definitely with Texts and Maps.
