Aft...Hi. It's me again. Just to follow up...<br /><br />After playing around with the application some more, I've discovered that the only way to stop the program from continuosly polling their servers is to set it to "Go Offline" in the main options menu.<br /><br />Originally, I didn't think that step would be necessary prior to exiting the program because when I exit an app, I expect it to... well... exit, including all the background processes it started.<br /><br />I don't use PC Suite myself, but perhaps there's a similar setting to take a drive "offline" and not mount it?!?! That's kinda funny and strange behaviour from PC Suite, by the way LOL<br /><br />Anyway, for those who still have problems with the non-stop polling, the other relevant settings you might need to change would be:<br /><br />General->Application startup = "Manual"<br /><br />When to sync->Sync while roaming = "Off"<br /><br />Hope this'll help others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207127345868646640.post-34472204589026730972009-04-25T15:34:00.000+03:002009-04-25T15:34:00.000+03:00Hi,

After that phone starts to refresh the remote disk and does that until the cable is unplugged. The only way to use PC Suite is to first delete the remote drive configuration and then connect the cable.<br /><br />//HarriHarri Salminenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17992380479081994723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207127345868646640.post-80836688779122981202009-04-24T11:58:00.000+03:002009-04-24T11:58:00.000+03:00Hi Harri,
I'm a little late to the discussion...Hi Harri,<br /><br />I'm a little late to the discussion as I just started using the new Nokia Email application recently to try out it's "push" feature specifically, knowing full well in advance that my credentials and passwords would have to go through their proxy for it to work properly. I can accept that.<br /><br />What I can't accept, though, is that their program keeps "phoning home" whenever I'm near a wifi access point :( It doesn't matter that I explicitly told the application to only start when I MANUALLY turn it on. It'll open a wifi connection by itself, even when I don't want it to, and connect to their proxy server in Malta. For what? I don't know.<br /><br />Here's another thing, whenever I log on to my hotmail account, which is what I'm using to test their service, it keeps asking me now to enter a captcha to make sure that I'm not a spammer/bot >_<<br /><br />I was under the impression that Nokia had permission from Microsoft, and all the other well-established online email services they have in their database, to poll their email servers for thier push service prior to their beta launch. Now, I have doubts.<br /><br />Anyway, I just wanted to share that with you and anybody else who might be wondering why their battery keeps getting drained a lot faster than normal now. By the way, I have an N95 (the original version), which already has lousy battery/power management features in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
