Turning Off Push Accounts

Another handy feature of the iPad is the push account. If you have a supported email account, your email server can deliver new messages to your iPad automatically so you receive the information almost the instant someone sends it to you.

Since a push account requires that your iPad periodically contact your email account over the Internet, it uses energy. If you don't need or care to receive email messages as quickly as possible, you can turn off the push account by following these steps:

  1. From the Home screen, tap Settings. The Settings screen appears.

  2. Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars. The Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings screen appears, as shown in Figure 2-3.

  4. Tap the Push on/off switch to make it read OFF.

    Note

    If you have multiple email accounts set up, you can tap the Advanced button to define whether each email account fetches data only when you use the Mail app (manually) or at a fixed interval of time defined by the option you choose under the Fetch category.

  5. Tap an option under the Fetch category, such as Every 15 Minutes or Hourly.

  6. Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
