Apple ME178LL/A, MD058LL/A, MC544LL/A manual Fetch New Data, Settings 169

Changes you make to an account’s settings on iPod touch 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 service: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an account, then turn an account service (such as Mail, Calendars, or Notes) off.

If an account service is off, iPod touch doesn’t display or sync information with that account service 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.

ÂÂ To adjust SSL and password settings, tap Advanced. Ask your network administrator or Internet service provider for the correct settings.

Delete an account from iPod touch: 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 with your

iPod touch. All email and the contacts, calendar, and bookmark information synced with the account are removed from iPod touch. 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!, and any other push accounts on iPod touch. Push accounts deliver new information to iPod touch whenever new information appears on the server (some delays may occur). To fetch or sync pushed data, iPod touch must join a Wi-Fi network that’s connected to the Internet. You might want to 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, data can still be fetched—that is, iPod touch can check with the server and 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 often.
