Hi all,

I've got a strange one for everyone. My girlfriend's father called me, the resident mac expert, with a bizarre iPhone problem.

It seems as though his phone only check mail automatically when he's connected to wifi. Nothing happens when he's on 3G or Edge, and he has to refresh manually.

I was stumped -- it's set to check every 15 minutes, and his e-mails are under POP, set up with the one-touch automatic account set-ups on the iPhone, so nothing crazy that's been configured manually.

For the life of me, I can't figure it out. Does anyone have any ideas or hunches for me to tell him? I've got enough brownie points with the guy, but I figure some more couldn't hurt me, especially since they're taking me on vacation starting on Friday

Many thanks,
Brad

So it will check mail manually but not automatically? Weird. Just check that he has rebooted his phone. My only thought. Or maybe change the automatic settings and then back again, just to sort out the preference file.
