1. How to setup IMAP account, which is not on the default accounts list?

2. How to prevent Gmail account from automated synchronisation?

1. If not mistaken, IMAP is the technology for mailing service. You should be able to setup email that using IMAP, e.g. yahoo mail.

2. Did you try Setting>Appication Settings>Mail>Select email account that you had been setup>Auto retrieval/Account settings?

Hope this helps you.

Auto retrieval of account's settings sets up my account to POP but I have it configured on the mail server as IMAP. Anyway, I know now how to do it: you have to start setting up a fictitious account, which does not exist, and then the phone gives you the option to specify type of the server IMAP or POP.
