Please tread carefully when changing these features! Read below so that you understand what each setting is for.

The "Connection Management System" in MailDroid is an advanced set of functions that allows you to customize and manipulate how you talk to your mail server.

Let's begin by discussing IMAP. Here is an example of the options that you have:

- Stay connected for performance and immediate notifications: If set to true, you will get email 'Pushed' .
- Close connection when I exit mailbox: If set to true, you will close the connection every time you leave the mailbox. This will disable push by default and will also slow down the loading of your mailbox when you next attempt to check it.
- Interval to check mail: If you want to close your connection and do a 'pull' instead of a 'push' for IMAP, you can set the polling interval in this field.
- Never Check Mail: If set to true, you will never be notified of a new email and you will have to manually open your mailbox and click refresh to get your mail.

The default setting for IMAP is set to stay connected and get instant notification. Let's continue by discussing POP3. Here is an example of the options that you have:

- Stay connected for performance and immediate notifications: If set to true, you will get a performance boost when you open the mailbox.
- Close connection when I exit mailbox: If set to true, you will close the connection every time you leave the mailbox. This will slow down the loading of your mailbox when you next attempt to check it.
  - NOTE: For certain providers like AT&T that require only ONE session to the server, this should be set to true. If you see that you are locked out from checking mail on another device, you should set this to true.
- Interval to check mail: Here, you can set the polling interval for checking your server for new mail.
- Never Check Mail: If set to true, you will never be notified of a new email and you will have to manually open your mailbox and click refresh to get your mail.

The default setting for POP3 is set to stay connected and poll every five minutes. To summarize, this is an advanced setting for users who want to have complete control on how MailDroid will access the mail server. In the future, more options may be added to this feature.
