Yes there is a way, I did it, but I did it for a different reason. There is a lot of talk about people not liking the duplicate alerts from the native email and the bridge email, and so turning off Bridge. But when you do that you have 3 disadvantages:
1. You use more battery getting your email from WiFi vs BT.
2. You then can't use the very handy mew bridge feature Open On Playbook.
3. If you read an Email it is not Instantly marked as Read on your BB (and vise versa).
So my solution was to leave bridge email on and to turn off push on the native email. That way I get the best of both worlds.
So anyways on to your solution:
On your PB: Settings>Accounts>(select account)>Advanced>Push: Off>Sync Interval: Manual.
That way it Email will only come in when you open the app and not at 4am.

I have 2 email accounts setup. The first (default) is my pop3 'work' email and it is set to manual. The second is my Gmail account. I cannot set the frequency here on the second - it is grayed out.
So although it's set to receive when I want it to, my Gmail still comes in!
Very annoying.
Had the notification sound on too loud and woke me up at 2AM!
02-24-12 02:19 AM - The reason it is greyed out is because you havent turned Push off. Do that and it'll work.That doesn't quite work either. At least not in my case...

Push settings are off on Native mail and Notifications are off on Native mail.Yes there is a way, I did it, but I did it for a different reason.

I mainly use my email via Bridge for all the adv. listed above. Beyond that I store only 30 days of emails on the phone so now my phone is not that heavy with emails. Any emails older than that can be found in my backup email acc setup on the Native mail.
Every night before sleeping > i run the native email application and let it collectively download all the emails via wifi at home..
Disadvantages is that you can't use the native email goodies but that doesn't matter much to me.. Bridge mail gets the work done for me..02-24-12 02:40 AM - Hmmm..Still doesn't work right! I had replied earlier that - sure enough - I had not turned Push off for my second Gmail account and that I was now able to set it to 'manual' once I did that. Thought the issue was resolved. Nope!
Woke up this morning and the PB had downloaded my FIRST account's mail during the night! Even though the 2 accounts are both set to 'manual'. I can take a screen cap for those in doubt...but I can assure you BOTH are set to manual.
This is a PITA. I want to control when and if the PB retrieves mail. I don't need the same email on multiple devices simultaneously. I work in IT and my systems at times email me 100's of alerts and warnings. I don't want to have to go delete them off my PB when I've already read them off my desktop PC. The PB email client is for when I'm away from the office.
Hate to say it but this setup works perfectly fine on my *other* tablet and my iPhone : they get mail when I tell them to...
I did however add a Twitter account at that time. I cannot control the frequency it gets tweets so now I'm wondering if the addition of this account somehow causes the PB mail client to also go out and get my email regardless...02-24-12 08:14 AM - Hello all, I am getting mad with this Native Email.... with 1.0 I was used to Bridge and get all accounts on my PB, fine. With 2.0 I was excited to have a local "replica" of my accounts (not emails themselves) so to use them on-demand (i.e. my BB out of service or any other backup options you may think of); NO WAY. There is no way to DISABLE/ON-OFF the Native Email Client that continues to run in background, ruining your battery life for doing nothing. I've read your posts and let me say that also putting all OFF it continues to receive emails ! I discovered that it turns the OFF to ON by itself !
It would be simple to just add a ON/OFF on the account(s) so to let them sleep until ME want it to come to life.
This would able a twofold advante:
- battery life
- no annying notification for something that, when I am bridging, just duplicate emails
I hope this is a bug and will be solved, for now I have cancelled all of my Native accounts and will Bridge
Ciao
