I have a few mail accounts on my iPhone, one of which is a mobile me account set to receive push email. The other accounts are set to not automatically receive email at all - all are set to manual. The problem I have is that when I receive email into the mobile me account and I then go to read the mail it then automatically downloads mail for all the other accounts. There doesn't seem to be any way to stop this from happening. Anyone know how to fix it? I know I can stop enabling the additional accounts but is this the only way?

When you launch Mail it automatically checks for new mail on all accounts regardless of your setting. AFAIU this is considered a feature.

Launching Mail = manual checking.
