Does Having Multiple Email Accounts drain battery?

Does having multiple email accounts being pushed to the phone drain battery? I have a main email and a secondary email that I don't really use and I would like to know if I can add the secondary email to my phone without losing battery since I still get some email on it. I don't want to add it if it will take up battery life. My thoughts are that it does take extra battery since new email is constantly being pushed to the phone but I'm not sure

It will affect your battery life in a very small way. The more accounts you have, the more communications it needs to do in order to receive all that mail. Even though the mail is pushed, increased volume means increased communications.

i have 6 loaded up, and dont see a drastic loss in power, minimal i`d say, however the more data ya recieve then the more battery gets used, so if they all get lots of emails, then could have a noticeable effect

it depends. i had an yahoo account on my bold, which drained my battery much quicker. i deleted it. but other email services were fine tune. but having multiple emails is not a battery drainer in the long run.
