Re: I really don't get what you guys are doing to your batteries.
it really depends how much/often you get email
think about it like this say you check every 30 min vs push and an email comes in every 5 min
with push- in that 30 min its synced the whole mailbox 6 times in 30 min
with every 30 min- its checked email 1 time getting all 6 emails at once
every 15 min- checked 2 times getting 3 each time
clearly with that pattern then push will sync the mailbox 3 or 6 times more often causing more drain.
it depends on your pattern of emails. If you receive email often and its not urgent you have it that minute, then pull can be better on battery life. If you dont receive a ton of email (10-20 a day) then either should be fine.
I have my exchange set for every hour because nothing i receive is urgent that very minute, as long as i see it within reasonable time that day. If i used push my battery would be dead in half a day due to the volume of emails that come in and the interval at which they do
