When I have vacation I need to disable sync of my work email account, so the don't disturb me. I need syncing of private emails all time.

I don't want emails 24/7. I want to schedule when my emails auto sync.

Users should be able to temporarily stop sync of email or set times for sync to happen.

Have an option for the app to check email only when the app is open and an inbox is selected.

Apparently there is no way to stop Outlook from auto-syncing whenever the cellphone is powered up, and there's apparently no way to stop the app from auto-loading at start-up. For that reason, I've uninstalled it, and I'll stick with Gmail.

I am also a business user for Outlook. I don't want my personal mobile phone syncing business emails all the time chewing through my data allowance and draining my battery.
Currently, my personal mobile, business tablet and business PC all sync my emails. I want the ability to turn my personal mobile syncing on and off depending on where I am and if I have access to other devices.
Seems to be a no-brainer to me, not sure why this hasn't been made a feature of the app.

Email syncing even when not on duty affects phone battery life, reintroduce previous feature allowing disabling syncing of mails

Indeed. Turn off sync outside business hours would be nice. Saves battery and my phone's led is alwayd blinking during the night.

Right now the app can only be used with "push" syncing and consumes an enormous amount of background cellular data despite the user being on WiFi 100% of the time at work and home. There are literally zero controls to adjust the frequency of sync or to disable it for the app. The only way to stop syncing is to turn off auto syncing for every single account (personal Gmail etc) on the phone or to turn off cellular data. 😧

Agreed. Even I liked this feature on my lumia 820. Option to sync inbox less frequently when on mobile data would be an added bonus

Requesting ability to switch on or off email sync for email accounts while out of the office on vacation, or perhaps while outside working hours (turn on/off email sync between certain days or hours).

There is no option to turn off email synch. I use my phone for both personal and work stuff, so I would like to have a setting to stop synching the work email when I'm away on holidays with out needing to erase the app.

Please add function to sync e-mail periodic. Not only push. This is available in Windows Phone and why not here?

Sync On/Off feature would be ideal for Outlook business users, who are in and out of the office or away from a computer. I require emails notifications while I am away from my desktop. It's a waste for my data to be used when I can view Outlook on my desk.
