Hi, Can't recall if this was mentioned yet. If you set your iPhone to Push and/or Fetch Mail less often. Actually, I just have mine set to grab Mail when I go into the Mail app as I don't care for it giving me alerts constantly when in meetings and such. I tend to get 48 to 72 hours out of my iPhone 5 even on iOS 7.
