Push email off but still getting new mail

[dojoman]

This is weird. It started happening yesterday, I have push email off but I keep getting new mail in the Inbox. Is it possible that if you have mail app in the multitasking bar it will keep checking for new mail?

Is fetch off?

 

[dojoman]

everything off. mail is in manual retrieve. i just tested a minute ago...sent myself a new email and it showed up right away and mail was in multitask bar. i had no idea mail runs fully in the background.

Is that a imap account or pop3?

 

[dojoman]

yahoo mail. pop3

uhmm...weird. just sent another test email and this time it's not getting it. it looks like just random. iOS4 bug???

That's poor on apples part. Being a pop3 account it has to be fetching in the background.

Happened to me too: i think this is related to the poor battery performance in ios4. Try to read this: https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/10480575/

Did you notice when happened? For me sometimes receiving a text message, browsing contacts or browsing recent calls, and immediately mail app start receiving new e-mails in background despite no push, manual fetch etc...

Yahoo Pop3 pushes to the iPhone.

No particular instance. I just started getting new mails without checking when the phone was in standby. I wasn't even using the phone.

Is your battery ok? Just out of curiosity, i've solved my problems about battery drain in ios4 because of this issue.

My battery seems fine. I have iphone 4. it's better than my 3GS.

What about google? I was using gmail (setup as gmail account and not as exchange account in mail)

Google doesn't push unless you set up the account as exchange.
