Why do I have to constantly sync and resync my email to get messages from my Yahoo email?

[WPCentral Question]

The windows 8.1 email does not usually sync automatically so I have to do so manually - which is a time wasting pain ....

Not sure if phone or PC...

but regardless, in the account settings you can choose the frequency of syncing. (options like As Items Arrive or Push, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, daily.. etc) so you might want to touch those settings.

Goto sync settings and select "as it arrives" so u don't have to sync it manually before u get a new mail alert
