    Thanks, I've been trying to find a way to stop my email app over night, think this might be the solution for an unrooted phone.

    Why not simply set the email app to manual overnight?

    Just put your phone on silent at night if you dont like to be woken with every single email.

    Tell your email app to not auto sync? Turn off wi-fi and mobile data?

    Do you really think I'd be resorting to Tasker if all I wanted to do was stop emails waking me up.

    My email app doesn't allow you to specify a period where it isn't syncing, and doesn't play nicely with androids battery optimisation. Which means that it drains my battery all night long.

    All I need is an automatic way of stopping it doing this but I have yet to find one. Even disabling the mobile and wifi data can't be done on a schedule, as far as I'm aware, on an unrooted phone.

    Well you didnt explain your reasons in your original posts so I just had to assume why you wanted to do it.....

    I use aquamail and believe it has the options you require.

    Charge your phone overnight then it won't matter what email is doing.

    Or the OP could turn the phone off. That would sort it too.

    @Shrimply isn't the OP. They've hijacked @PaulaA's thread with their own easily resolved complaint.

    Excuse me? I think you'll find I simply made a comment thanking AndyPix for his helpful answer and saying why it might be useful for me.

    Everyone else hijacked the thread by trying to answer a question I never asked.
