Email not auto checking?

Both are set to auto check for new mail every 5 mins. Everything worked great for about a day, but then stopped.

Neither email account is auto checking for mail regardless of the frequency I set it to. 5 mins, 10 mins, hourly, etc.

If I go into the inbox however for one of the email accounts it seems to instantly check for new mail and then all the messages show up.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

What was the outgoing mail server that you used for the pop3 account? I used the smtp.sprintpcs.com that I used on my previous phones but it did not work. Is there a new one for the 4g network?

Yeah, I've looked at K9 and MailDroid, but I just don't like either really. Hate having to give up certain features just to gain functionality that should be there stock.

That really has no bearing. I used mail.<servername>.com which is the same that I used for the last 4-5 years on Sprint with WinMo and then when running Android on my Touch Pro.
