Thanks for the reply! I see; that makes sense. So, if I wanted to limit my battery/data/RAM usage it would be best to use polling at an interval that's not too short, and to disable pushing altogether? Does it make any difference that there are a lot of old emails in my inbox? (I think I read something about that in the FAQ.)
And is/are polling and/or pushing still active when my phone is on standby? Also, just out of curiosity, what method of fetching mail do most other email apps use? I haven't seen any app other than K9 where you can actually configure it by yourself.
