IPod Touch Mail holds on to my ISP's server

If I check for mail with my iPod Touch over in-home Wi-Fi (Charter is my ISP), after updating the Inbox and going on to another app, (or not), or even putting the iPod on standby, if I try to check for mail on desktop Macs with the same account on the same Wi-Fi network it appears the iPod Touch is still tying up the Charter server as the Macs can't receive mail and can only be liberated by a full shutdown of the iPod Touch. I can't find a setting either on the iPod or at the server to solve this. Is this "the way it is" or is there a fix?

Does your Charter email use pop or imap? This does sound very strange as an email server request is generally a short lived transmission. This sounds more like a router issue rather than an iPod/iMac problem.
While I was reading your question, I received an e-mail on my touch and, while reading it, the same e-mail also came into my iMac (pop account). This should be the way it works unless you have the touch set to delete the e-mail on the server. So your problem still sounds like a problem of your router not releasing the port used by e-mail. I would look for and install the latest router firmware update that is available for your router.

  • How much can the iPod Touch really hold?

    Suddenly my 16GB iPod touch could hold 3000 of my photos, 40 videos and 4500 of my songs. But the album artwork was all wrong so I made the stupid decision of restoring my iPod.
    Now I can only fit 2500 photos, home videos which are pretty weak on the MB and I had to compromise the 4500 songs to 4055.
    What happened?

    yeah it seems that the first restore left some fragmented files or somthing on your touch takin up some space. Another restore couldnt hurt and if it leaves more unuseable space you should look into a replacement cause it looks like a bug.

    Just let the battery drain until the screen shuts off. When you charge it back up it should boot up normally.

    white screen on ipod touch. tried holding buttons. dont work. need help.

    If your iPod is covered (insured) I would suggest taking it to Best Buy and see if there is anything they can do for you. Maybe try plugging it into iTunes and see what happens.

  • How many songs does an 8GB ipod touch really hold?

    how many songs does an 8GB ipod touch really hold?

    A little less than 1750 songs.  The specs for older iPods specified a number of songs.  For the 2G iPod Apple said:
    Capacity
    8GB, 16GB, or 32GB flash drive2
    Holds up to 1,750, 3,500, or 7,000 songs in 128-Kbps AAC format3
    The newer iOSs take more storage space so the number of songs will be reduced.

    You have to either enter the Apple/iCloud ID and password in order to activate the iPod for use. Or you can try to dissassociate the iPod for that account by:

  • IPod Touch Mail crashes after update 3.1.3

    Hi,
    It seems that since we updated our iPods Touch (different ones, 2nd Generation) to software 3.1.3, Mail app stopped working. It opens for a few seconds then it crashes. I have reset one of the iPods completely and synced it again, and still the same behavior. Something curious is that I open Mail, delete some messages, it crashes, and Mail shows the same number of new messages, as if I hadn't deleted any, and upon opening the app, yes, there they are. Rest of iPods seem to be working fine.
    An older iPod (1st gen) that we have not updated works just fine.
    Any clue or fix?
    Thanks

    My iPod does the same, Initially Apple blame the ISP, after much discussion it seems that there is a problem with 3.1.3 but they are reluctant to admit it. Firstly be denying all knowledge of problem then by blaming others. I think the problem is too big for them to admit and they can't fix it in the short term. Some are re-installing old software from net to get over problem, but Apple won't support old software. If any one has found a solution please let me know.

  • IPod touch mail problem?

    I recently reset the password for my Hotmail account and when I tried to check my mail on my iPod, which was already synced it asked for the new password and I entered it i got an error message saying "Unable to verify account information". I deleted the Hotmail account and tried to add again and I got the same message. I have entered the new password multiple times and I am ABSOLUTELY sure that I got it right. I have also added my email address multiple times and I'm sure that I've got that right too. I have reset the password once more and still have the same problem. I have an iPod touch 4th generation with iOS 5. What should I do? Any help will be most appreciated, thanks

    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that didn't help try
    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

  • Ipod touch Mail Blank Screen- can't access mail

    Hi,
    When I try to open mail on my ipod touch, it opens a blank/black screen (still with the grey bar at the top with the time) but never comes up with the inbox or any menus to interact with (can't access my mail).
    I recently added another imap account. Does it have troubles with too many messages or otherwise- surely it would say that rather than staying on a blank screen.
    Any thoughts?

    Have you tried resetting your ipod by holding the Home & Sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo?

  • How do I place my iPod touch on "hold"?

    I like to listen to music/podcasts while exercising and the buttons are being pressed accidently whether I hold it in my hand or put it in my pocket. How do I activate the "hold" function on the iPod touch so that I can listen to music/podcasts without accidental interruptions?

    Press the power/sleep button once.
