Go into Settings: Accounts & Passwords> Fetch New Data. It might be automatically set to Push.
Turn that off, at least temporarily, and set it to Fetch every 15 to 30 minutes instead. You can also use the Manual mode, which only scans for new messages when you actually open the email app. From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Turner Sent: Thursday, November 2, 2017 6:46 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Setting to check for email on opening mail? Hello, Since updating to 11.1, it seems like my phone is checking for mail when I am not in the mail app,. I used to have it only check when I opened mail, or refreshed the messages with a 3-finger swipe down. The current setting is distracting and an unnecessary drain on battery. I looked in the setting for mail but don’t see a likely option for restoring this to what it used to be. Can anyone tell me where it is?
