Only one global POP3 mail check interval? No individual mailcheck frequency?

[pstein]

Assume I setup 3 POP3 driven email accounts.

In global, master settings--->Mail, receiving I enabled "Scheduled sync" and set a Mail check interval of 30 minutes.

However for one of the accounts I want to use a different mail check interval of only 10 minutes.

When I go to the corresponding Account options I found no account related "mail check interval".
So there is only one value definable for ALL POP3 account?
correct?

Yes, Mr. Paris Geek is once again first with a correct answer.

- long press on account name -> Special settings -> enable the one labeled "Mail, receiving" and "tap into it" to set a different interval.

Ok, thank you for the answer.

The different places for overall settings and account-related settings are confusing.
(Like here for mail check interval but also fur similar other features)

Is it possible to setup a corresponding, equal menu structure for App and accounts in next release?

This usability would be easier.

Thank you

Not sure I agree.

There are app level settings and account level settings.

"Special settings" are called "special" because they're -- well -- "special", they override app level settings.

The other account level options are either independent of app level settings (e.g. account color) or work with them together.

Now as for your suggestion about a hierarchical structure:

- App settings and account options and special settings (pretty much everything) is already hierarchical.

- Moving account options / special settings into app settings (the way Gmail does) -- don't think would work very well, because there are a lot of settings (app level and account level both).

Besides, long pressing "something" is a standard Android UI pattern, maybe somewhat less popular these days, but still valid. And there is even a help panel that pops up as a reminder (after you've added your first account).
