If you can get to either a) your account settings or b) the schedule changes
(this depends on what you're using for e-mail, I'm more familiar with
Entourage), there should be a place where you can make it where you check
and send your e-mail manually instead of at a set interval.  That's what I
do, and it works fine on Entourage.  I'm sure the setting's there somewhere.
You could also set it to send and receive only on connect if that option's
available.
