Well, yes, within reason. I have large periods of the day where I don't need my phone checking email (while I am a home, at work). I mainly need it checking email when I am at a customer site or, well, whenever I am not at home or work. Even some customer sites allow me to plug my laptop in so I don't need it then either. I wish POutlook/Messaging worked like Outlook on my desktop - I can just close it out and it stops checking.
It seems like an unnecessary waste of battery life.
I have tried mail2web, but it just doesn't work well with how I manage my email. Plus I already have a push account through a customer that I need to monitor.
Flexmail was ok, but it had its issues and I suspect that its IMAP IDLE implementation is not very battery friendly. Plus its activesync support didn't work very well (most of the time the emails it sent via Exchange were blank).
