Once again, the email client should not initiate a connection in the background. This is by design.
If you choose "send & receive" manually, then it is allowed to ask you for a connection. Otherwise it is only allowed to use a pre-established connection - not to connect, send/receive & disconnect.

thanks, i have been hearing conflicting info on this! if that is the case then the email client is inferior to a simple weather widget like omweather that is able to do that. thats really mindboggling why nokia would choose that...

I've not used omweather, but if any application is initiating a connection in the background without user interaction, it's violating the guidelines in the Maemo 5 developer guide.

I don`t know what everybody is talking about....I think the email client is excellent.It notifies you when you get emails, and you can have it send and receive every 5 minutes....what else do you need?

under settings-> internet connections i have chosen the internet connection of my provider instead of "ask me". This means whenever i establish an internet connection it chooses this one, it does not mean that i am alwas online.
90% of the time i am not online. when i am not online, sleeping for e,g, the email client does nothing (although it has been told to refresh every hour)
whilst the omweather widget connects to the internet, refreshes and goes offline again.
this is exactly what i want the email widget to do and is most common sense. does nokia expect me to be online 24/7??
i might as well manually establish an internet connection every single time myself to check mail. i want it to do that automatically!

It does mean that you are always online, so long as you can physically receive wifi or cellular signals & have suitable connections configured.
If you are connected to wifi or cellular data and your email still isn't refreshing, then yes there is an email client problem.
Once again, the email client should not initiate a connection in the background. This is by design.
If you choose "send & receive" manually, then it is allowed to ask you for a connection. Otherwise it is only allowed to use a pre-established connection - not to connect, send/receive & disconnect.
