Mail for Exchange

Anyone else install this notice a huge battery drain? After 2hrs with no calls no BT I drop 15% after 3hrs 50% it goes down hill from there.

This makes it unusable as push email software for me :(

Hope you are not using MfE with WLAN. It keeps the connection active if you use it as push mail service and that drains the battery very fast. I have set it at 15 min interval and it works without any perceptible effect on battery.

I have it set for Edge/3G no WLAN

I did set it to 15m intervals and got 16hrs out of the battery with no voice calls only light email. If I turn it off completely I get 48hrs with voice calls.

I get more than 2 days (48 hrs) of usage with 15 min interval on MfE from 8 AM to 6:30 PM, moderate calls and an occasional web browsing. Maybe some thing else is missing somewhere.

I will try your schedule I was running from 7:30a - 9:30p 15m intervals than switched to 30m after that. I have nothing else running that would require Internet and use a Task Manager to make sure nothing is running in the background. To bad I can't use it as a Push Email Service (always on) on peak times but 4 hours run time I can't live with.
