Problem you are trying to solve

At the moment there is only the option to retrieve emails through push or interval polling, regardless of which connection is currently being used (5G/LTE/3G or WIFI).

If you have set the retrieve of emails to "push" and are traveling with a mobile internet connection (5G/LTE...), this can lead to drastic battery consumption compared to interval polling. However, if the emails are retrieved via "push" via a WIFI connection, there will not be such an impact on the battery.

Suggested solution

My suggestion would be to implement the ability in the settings, which handles push and interval polling separately depending on which type of the connection you are currently using, in order to reduce battery consumption. *Please have a look at the screenshot for more clarification
