I will admit I am new to the Android OS after defecting from WM.

When using my WM devices, I was used to having the phone automatically sync my email accounts immediately after powering on the device after having it off for instance, overnight.

I have noticed with my EVO that does not seem to be happening. I know I have new email waiting because I looked via my PC.

If I have my Yahoo account setup to sync every 2 hours off peak, and I fireup my phone during off peak hours, does the EVO not see that the phone has been off for 8 hours overnight and start syncing immediately, or does the syncing schedule start from the moment the phone is powered on?

I should clarify that I have this problem with the Background Data feature turned on.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
