Apple MC497LL/A manual Fetch New Data, Settings

Delete an account from iPad: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an account, then scroll down and tap Delete Account.

Deleting an account means you can no longer access the account on iPad. All email and the contacts, calendar, and bookmark information synced with the account are removed from iPad. However, deleting an account doesn’t remove the account or its associated information from your computer.

Fetch New Data

This setting lets you turn Push on or off for MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Yahoo! Mail, and any other push accounts on iPad. Push accounts automatically deliver new information to iPad when new information appears on the server (delays may occur). To fetch or sync pushed data, iPad must have an Internet connection. Turn Push off to suspend delivery of email and other information, or to conserve battery life.

When Push is off, and with accounts that don’t support push, iPad can still check the server to see if new information is available. Use the Fetch New Data setting to determine how often data is requested. For optimal battery life, don’t fetch too frequently.

Turn Push on: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Fetch New Data, then tap to turn Push on.

Set the interval to fetch data: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Fetch New Data, then choose how often you want to fetch data.

To conserve battery life, fetch less frequently.

Setting Push to OFF or setting Fetch to Manually in the Fetch New Data screen overrides individual account settings.

When Push is set to OFF, Find My iPad doesn’t work.

Mail

The Mail settings, except where noted, apply to all accounts you’ve set up on iPad.

To turn alerts sounds for new or sent mail on or off, use the General > Sounds settings.

Set the number of messages shown on iPad: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Show, then choose a setting.

Choose to see the most recent 25, 50, 75, 100, or 200 messages. To download additional messages when you’re in Mail, scroll to the bottom of your inbox and tap Load More Messages.

Note: For Microsoft Exchange accounts, choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” then choose the Exchange account. Tap “Mail days to sync” and choose the number of days of mail you want to sync with the server.
