How to exclude one acount from mail checks

[berlinman]

I have one mail account that I use primarily for sending mail. I do not want it to check for POP3 mail.

Previously, this worked as I wanted by unchecking the 'sync' boxes for the account. But now (v1.3.8.) AM keeps checking regardless. How do I turn off sync for this account?

TIA.

It *should* work same as before -- long press the account -> options and folders -> account options -> turn off scheduled mail checks.

Now if it doesn't... maybe you're using event based sync in Aqua (see settings under "mail, receiving")? This is when the app checks mail based on events like network connectivity.

Thanks for the rapid reply. True, I did start using event-based sync (several event types) and find this very useful for my 'Receiving' accounts. (The flexibility of such settings is one of the things I love about AM.)

Is there a way of turning off event based sync for individual accounts?

[Kostya Vasilyev]

There is no per-account setting for event-based sync, and reusing the "scheduled sync" setting won't be any good.

I'll write down a task to provide a separate per-account setting for event based sync.

That's great, I'll look forward to it. I know you are a busy chap, and I will be patient!

Thanks
