Battery Life Hacks - Disable Automatic Email Checking?

[tcolling]

I entered the battery life registry hacks below on my xv6800 and since then Pocket Outlook does not perform the "automatic" checks for new mail that I set up unless I actually have Pocket Outlook open on my device. Could that be due to one or more of these hacks?

Thanks,
Tim

Battery Life

A couple of us have tested this and found a nice increase in battery life. On my Treo 700 it seemed to do nothing but on the Q it greatly helped (I ran for 12 hours yesterday push email in a low signal environment and stayed at 4 bars battery--normally would have been at 2 or 3)

Those should have absolutely no effect on outlook. They are enabling power management on the WAN miniport driver, IRda and the L2TP and PPTP protocols.

Here's a quick explanation of what each reghack is doing:
