Trying to connect to an outlook account which gets a lot of traffic (50-100 emails/day). Typically, my battery drain is 0.5-0.8%/hour when idle. Noticed that in push mode, I was using 3-4%/hour. I tried only syncing inbox, 15 messages, no difference. Then tried polling on a 3 hour schedule. This cut it down somewhat, but remained at about 2.5%/hour. Still getting aquamail wakelocks, even though I don't think I should be.
Ideally, I'd like to have a push notification that only runs when the screen is on. I don't need instant notification, and I want no resource use when the phone is idle. What's the best way to do that?
Thought about setting up a tasker profile to enable aqua syncing with screen on--is that possible, and would that be the best solution, or is there a better way through settings?
