Fetch New Data
This setting lets you turn Push on or o 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 o to
suspend delivery of email and other information, or to conserve battery life.
When Push is o, 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 you set Push 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 o, 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.
Set how many lines of each message are previewed in the message list: Choose
“Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Preview, then choose a setting.
You can choose to see up to ve lines of each message. That way, you can scan a list of
messages in a mailbox and get an idea of what each message is about.
Set a minimum font size for messages: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Minimum
Font Size, then choose Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large, or Giant.
Set whether iPad shows To and Cc labels in message lists: Choose “Mail, Contacts,
Calendars,” then turn Show To/Cc Label on or o.
