Does not happen for me going to contacts list via Contacts app. Are you actually making the call and having it pull in the e-mails, or just visiting the Contacts list?
It sounds like going into contacts autopopulates the mail app with the contacts email addresses and this triggers fetch as a side effect. But what's the point of the mail app and its notification system if you don't want it to push or fetch for you? Just use m.gmail.com as a webclip.
Other than this one bug that hasn't been fixed in the one minor software update they have released in the month since the device has been out, what bad customer support experiences have you had?
Wait.... You're trying to say Apple's slipping, because..... your mail downloads when you open contacts? give me a break.
there is no point. i want to check manually and not use battery power to check for junk mail
Junk mail as in spam or useless mail from companies that you do business with? If it's spam, you need to get a provider with better spam filter (like Gmail). If the latter, use the mobile website like m.gmail.com , m.hotmail.com , m.yahoo.com/mail etc. But even so, fetch uses almost negligible battery power.
You know... There was a point for 2 minutes that was funny but it just gets old now....
just general spam. I use my yahoo account as my default personal account. I don't want to use the mobile site and safari to check email, I want to use the built in mail app. I simply want it to not check for new mail unless I open the mail app. I have it setup that way! why is it too much to ask to get it to function that way?
I have figured out a fix for your problem. Take the damn phone back, and get something else.
