  That must have been a long time ago. My K-9 Mail is at least two and a
half years old - version 6.000 - and I've set the 'Fetching mail' poll
frequency to Never, for both POP3 and IMAP. Other poll frequencies are
from Every 15 minutes to Every 24 hours. Never and Every 24 hours aren't
really 'pushy' are they!> :-)
