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!

Mail, and any other push accounts you’ve conﬁgured on iPod touch. Push accounts

automatically deliver new information to iPod touch when 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 is 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 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 for all accounts.

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.

Mail

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

iPod touch.

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

Set the number of messages shown on iPod touch: 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” and choose

the Exchange account. Tap “Mail days to sync” and choose the number of days of mail

you want to sync with the server.
