Pictures can also eat up bandwidth if you get a lot of them. Spam senders can use tiny embedded images to determine whether you’ve opened a message (and thereby verified that your email address is legitimate). Loading remote images in your email is part security concern and part bandwidth concern. Select the action you want each gesture to take by tapping on either the “Swipe Left” or “Swipe Right” options. The resulting screen shows two options: one for when you swipe to the left and one for when you swipe to the right. Next, tap “Swipe Options” to make changes to the actions Mail carries out when you swipe a message.
#IPAGE EMAIL SETTINGS IPHONE ARCHIVE#
Being able to quickly swipe an email to archive it, mark it as read, or flag it is a real boon for productivity.Īgain, open the Settings app and tap the “Mail” option. If you have to deal with a lot of emails, triaging that email can be a big part of processing an overflowing Inbox. The options range from None all the way up to five lines. Tap the “Preview” option in the “Message List” section.įinally, select the number of lines you want to display. Head into Settings and then tap the “Mail” option. Shorter previews let you see more messages on the screen at once. Longer previews let you see what messages are about without opening them. If you receive a lot of emails, you may also want to control how much of a message you see as a preview within the Mail app. You can choose whether to see icon badges, notifications on the Lock screen, and hear alert sounds when an email arrives. Make sure that the “Allow Notifications” switch is turned on (if you want notifications), and then choose how you would like notifications to arrive. Open Settings and tap “Notifications” to see a list of the installed apps that support notifications. You manage all iPhone and iPad notifications in the Settings app, and push notifications are no different. These will differ depending on the type of account involved but are all self-explanatory along the way. Tap the type of account you need to add and follow the authentication prompts. You’ll then see a list of popular account types, as well as an “Other” option for anyone with a specialized setup. If you’d like to add a new account, tap the “Add Account” button. Anything that can support email, calendars, and notes appear on this list. Those include any Google, Exchange, or Microsoft accounts, as well as your iCloud account. Here, you’ll see a list of all of the accounts on your device. Open Settings app and select “Passwords & Accounts.” How confusing even.Managing, adding, and removing email accounts on an iPhone or iPad happens in the Settings app instead of the Mail app. I went onto my old MacBook (which is Snow Leopard) looking for an old email today and noticed that the email displayed properly and it made me realize how irritating it is that the email show as read when they are not. So I presume that the junk filtres used by my email provider is not causing the problem, as it is only one device that it happens.
#IPAGE EMAIL SETTINGS IPHONE PRO#
It's only the MacBook Pro which has the problem. I have mail accounts for the MacBook Pro (which has OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.5) for my iPad3, my iPhone4 and an old MacBook which the kids use. I've done this several times over the last six months and the email account has never displayed the way it is meant to. I've tried unchecking them and shutting down the computer, then starting up again and checking them and shutting down again etc to no effect. I have checked "Display unread messages in a bold font" and "Display remote images in HTML messages" boxes and neither actually happens. I didn't have the Mail->Preferences->Viewing "Mark all messages as read when opening a conversation" checked.
