I am new to my Droid2, just got it Monday night. My email is currently set to fetch 15 minutes. Should it be changed to push? I have noticed that my email on my droid seems to be around 45 minutes late, give or take a little.
Also,what is a good weather program to use on my screen? I don't much like the motorola wigit one that I am using right now.
Until about an hour ago I was using the Gmail app to have all my emails pushed to the phone. I setup my pop3 accounts on the Google/Gmail site. It will fetch your pop3 accounts on a flexible frequency based on each account's activity - more activity = more frequent polling. I believe the longest polling frequency is 5 minutes. Anyway, I just go sick of the stock Gmail app. It insisted on pushing duplicate emails to the phone. And when I say duplicates, I mean over and over and over. Got sick of it.
Also, this morning, thanks to a thread/post here of DF, I found out that you can no longer delete emails from the trash folder via the phone. You have to go to the Google/Gmail site and delete them there.
So, I'm back to K-9 mail and I have it fetching all my mail every 15 minutes. I just tested it and it does not seem to have the big lag that you are experiencing. You might give it a try. It's in the market, but the devs update the app frequently but do not keep the market current very well. So here's the site to get the current version:
Downloads - k9mail - Project Hosting on Google Code. In fact there have been two updates since the market was updated.
So, bottom line is that both of the native email apps on the phones suck (imnsho).
Oh and the weather app, I use Beautiful Widget's Home widget on my home screen. It has good brief weather info. On one of my other screens I have The Weather Channel for more detailed info. Plus it has active radar which I really like. I don't use their widget, just an app icon.
Good luck.
