I may have figured it out. Under the sync schedule settings, the 'while roaming' setting was set to something other than 'manual'. I changed that to 'manual' so it will probably be ok. Thanks.

My email address is [removed]@sbcglobal.net. Not sure why that would make a difference, but there you go.

Thank you for that information, Rodilator. If you go to Settings>Under Accounts select your email account>Settings>Select the email>Sync Settings, is Sync email selected? Also, if you pull down your notification bar and select the four square icon located in the upper right hand corner is the Sync icon selected?  AndreaS_VZW Follow us on Twitter @VZWSupport If my response answered your question please click the "Correct Answer" button under my response.

Yes, as I mentioned, sync is turned on, but the sync schedule is set to Manual. And the sync icon under the notification bar is green. So it syncs, but still does it automatically on occasion which I don't want. I want to sync manually as I have it set the sync schedule. And thank you for removing my email address, that was pretty dumb on my part.
