Can't say I've ever seen this. I have 1 AOL acount and 1 Yahoo that is pushed in real-time, my 2 POP accounts are whatever the server decides (this is no different then that of Verizon Wireless Sync). And SEVEN works the same way for POP email except the frequency in which it checks is fixed at 5 minutes for the beta. Regarding the SMS error message you are getting, I read somewhere that this was an issue with WM6. By any chance are you running WM6?
Yep. I'm running a q9m. I didn't start getting that text message until I installed the new email prog. I have two POP accounts and 1 IMAP account (GMail). The GMail is linked to my office email, so all my work stuff goes into that box. It seems to update pretty quickly. The two POP accounts are the ones that just never seem to work correctly.
