Hey guys, just got an iPhone 4S on Friday. My first!! Coming off a 4yr old "dumb" flip phone, so this is a HUGE upgrade for me lol...

Anyways, trying to set up a POP3 account with Cox. Got it all working on the manual poll. Would like to have it auto poll. A google search led me to where the settings are and I set it to auto-poll every 15min, but this results in my POP3 account getting locked by the iPhone. So I can't check email on my PC anymore because you can only have one logged in session at a time.

Is there a way to set up the auto-poll so it polls every X minutes and then DISCONNECTS rather then keeping the account locked?

EDIT: Ideally I'd like to have it so that it auto-polls every X minutes when I am NOT at home and do not poll at all when I am at home... not sure if thats even possible. By "at home", I mean in range of my Wi-fi, but if I can just keep the account from getting locked, that'd be "good enough".
