Accounts

The Accounts section lets you set up accounts on iPod touch. The specific settings that appear depend on the type of account you’re setting up. Your service provider or system administrator should be able to provide the information you need to enter.

For more information on adding accounts, see “Setting Up Accounts” on page 10.

Change an account’s settings: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an account, then make the changes you want.

Changes you make to an account’s settings are not synced to your computer, so you can configure your accounts to work with iPod touch without affecting the account settings on your computer.

Stop using an account: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an account, then turn Account off.

If an account is off, iPod touch doesn’t display the account and doesn’t send or check email from or sync other information with that account, until you turn it back on.

Adjust advanced settings: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an account, then do one of the following:

ÂÂ To set whether drafts, sent messages, and deleted messages are stored on iPod touch or remotely on your email server (IMAP accounts only), tap Advanced and choose Drafts Mailbox, Sent Mailbox, or Deleted Mailbox.

If you store messages on iPod touch, you can see them even when iPod touch isn’t connected to the Internet.

ÂÂ To set how long before messages are removed permanently from Mail on iPod touch, tap Advanced and tap Remove, then choose a time: Never, or after one day, one week, or one month.

ÂÂ To adjust email server settings, tap Host Name, User Name, or Password under Incoming Mail Server or Outgoing Mail Server. Ask your network administrator or Internet service provider for the correct settings.
