NB: There is another thread which partly covers this issue (with no outcome at the time of writing this) but I have started this new one and a unique bug report which covers this problem, as the other thread has diverged into a slightly different (but likely connected) issue. (see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=54076)

Since upgrading to PR1.2 by flashing and hence wiping the device, I restored my backup (and email accounts). Since then (having set my hotmail to check at 10 and subsequently 5 minute intervals) it has failed to work. Messages are not checked automatically, they don't come through until you manually send/receive an even then that does not always work, or even if it does - not all emails come through.

I have tried deleting the email accounts from my phone and re-entering them both manually and with the guided setup.

I have disabled and re-enabled or changed all of the email settings, with saves in each state to make sure the configuration saved to the phone is being saved (the settings always show up correctly).

My google mail account works fine as does a private IMAP account. This all worked just fine before the PR1.2 update. The problem is exactly repeated on my housemate's N900.

If you have experienced this problem too, go to the bug and vote for it here:

I have a few questions about the bug process... Should this problem be fixed (and it really needs to be as it has rendered email communications inoperable for one of the world's largest email providers - for me and my housemate at least) - how and when would/could it be delivered? Would it have to wait until the next firmware update or is there the option to release minor interim fixes for issues such as this?

Cheers
