how to stop auto checking of email iPhone 4 on iOS 5.0.1

I am not sure what is going on but since upgrading my iPhone 4 recently to iOS 5.0.1 I can't stop the phone from automatically checking email.

I have configured the following settings so far:

Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Fetch New Data/Push=OFF

schedule=manually

for each account: advanced=Manual

Settings/Notifications - set mail to "Not in Notification Center"

Alert Style=none

Badge App Icon=on

View in Lock Screen=off

I have had to disable all accounts to stop it from checking. I can't take the chance of it going off during class or work.

More importantly, there are some days where I am on the college campus for 12-14 hours and I need to conserve battery power as much as possible and need to disable it from automatically checking email

Any help is greatly appreciated

iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1

Make sure push is off and manual is set for FETCH

Also close the Mail app using multitasking, if you do this, it should only check email with the above settings if mail is activly running in memory.

If nothing else... Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data > OFF.

Then nothing can access the Internet.

I can't turn off cellular data as I need to be able to receive text message for campus energencies and announcements.

As far as the settings, I already have push set to off and fetch to manually

Also, when I am done using mail I generally close it using multitasking as mentiioned. I started doing this with my older iphone because of limited memory. Now I still do it more out of habit

Now what else can I do?

Not relevant. Text messages are sent over the voice network, so turning off Cellular data will have no bearing on the ability to send receive them. It will stop sending/receiving of MMS messages.
