I really sugest that you delete all your mailboxes and set them up through Nokia Messaging instead of directly through the email servers(gmail,yahoo,hotmail etc..). You wont have to use the "automatic search interval" or anything like that and youll avoid all your problems. Emails are recieved instantly as soon as they are sent by the sender with the automatically update feature disabled. Im sure you wont have any issues then. Its really amazing and works with multiple mailboxes gmail, yahoo, hotmail at the same time in one account.. It is also much faster at syncing than signing up directly with the email servers.
So just delete your current mailboxes and select nokia messaging and follow the simple steps.. goodluck!

This is not a bug but a feature.

Well try this for a change
Go to your wirless settings. Choose your settings and click Next till you get to the advanced tab.
In the DNS Settings hardcode the IPs from your ISP.
My Mail would not even do anyhting when clicking on send & receive (not even pretending to fetch mails)
Setting the DNS IP hardcoded to the DNS IP of my ISP did help.
(I got the DNS IP from the ISP site because the one asigned to my router was different and did not work)
Regards Markus

"This is not a bug but a feature."
Imagine if it were otherwise. You go to the bother of changing your n900 settings to not connect automatically while out of the country and some rougue app opens a connection anyway and downloads to its hearts content, costing you a fortune in roaming charges.
You can configure your n900s internet connection to be always on / always on when a wifi connection is available / etc. I dont see the issue.

under settings->email connectivity i have it set to connect to my provider. search interval is set to "never" and i have the internet connection off. whenever an app like omweather needs to refresh, it opens the internet connectivity by itself, refreshes and disconnects. thats what i would expect of the email, but it doesnt!
email ist set to: update automatically, updated when connected via any connection and update every hour.
under email-accounts->gmail: everything is filled in, i left "use connection specific smtp servers" unticked.
whats going on??
I have realized a solution to both of our problems.... if you set the search interval within your internet connections, under settings, to 60 mins. (what i chose to not drain battery) the email will indeed open up the internet connection just like omweather, when needed...
For me, I could not send and recieve anything while connected to wifi (eicom/netopia/ireland), or refresh the nokia reopo's, I had to go into internet connections of my wifi connection on my n900 and uncheck auto retrieve dns servers, and manually input the ones from my netopia/isp then everything is working as it should now! repos are refreshing and I can once again send and recieve emails via wifi on my n900!

only email or conversations
can you tell me exactly what to do
1) Click on the E-mail application
2) Click on the top bar and select "New account"
3) Click Next
4) Click "Region" and select your country
5) Click Service Provider and select "Nokia Messaging"
6) Click Next
7) Enter your E-mail address and password (Yahoo!, Gmail, Hotmail etc...)
After that it should set up your email account and you should be done
Also, when it has completed the set up, go to "Settings" and un-check "Update automatically", because you don't need it anymore since Nokia Messaging pushes your new mail directly to your mobile without needing to automatically check every 15 minutes.
If you want to add more E-mail accounts, just follow the same steps and it will add them in the same Nokia Messaging account.

Tip: On my N900, Nokia Messaging does not show up in the list if I'm connected to WLAN. I must switch to cellular network.
It's possible you have OM set up to connect over GPRS rather than wifi.
Also some mobile phone service providers block IMAP email so the only way to get it is over wifi but no application will initiate wifi connection itself
