Password protection for the iPad Mail App

Is there any way to set the mail app so that the user must enter a mail password to access the account?

No, sorry, none. It's not a horrible idea, though . . . .

HT4623 Is there virus protection for the iPad? Where would I find it? Thankd

Is there virus protection for the iPad available? Where would I find it please? Thanks

There are no viruses for iOS currently.
iOS employs security features built into it-mainly sand boxing.
You can not download apps from the Internet, apps cannot make changes to the core system or system wide, apps can access data inside the app itself and a very limited set outside itself.
Sand boxing also prevents AV software from working in iOS.
You can't scan the device from the AV software because it can't access the other apps or their data.

Does anyone know of any security protection for the IPad?

Yes, first get a good case for it to protect it from the elements, dropping, etc.
Next, be sure to set up your free Find My iPad application for it in case it is lost or stolen.
When carrying it around with you keep your eye on it at all times and beware of letting others walk away with it. They are very popular and stolen frequently.
P.S. There are no iOS viruses, malware, etc. so no antivirus, antispyware, etc. apps are available.

Is there a way to set the iPad Mail app to only get email manually, not automatically when the app is opened?

I usually don't use my iPad Mail app to check my email, but sometimes I go into the Mail app just to send a test email or check an attachment in the Sent folder or some such, and every time I enter the app, Mail checks for new email. Which means it ends up downloading five hundred emails or so if I haven't been to the app in a while. Annoying! I haven't been able to find a setting that will stop Mail from checking for new Mail when I go into the app; is there such a setting?

You can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail.

Hi, I recently purchased an IPad Air. I have a Dell PC that has the Verizon. Security Suite. Do I need to have virus/malware protection for the IPad Air? Thanks.

Hi, I recently purchased an IPad air. Do I need to place virus protection software for it? I also have a Dell PC that has the Verizon Security Suite. Thanks for your info. Jim

You do not need anti virus for the iPad. The ipad only installs things from the App Store and those apps are vetted. In addition, the operating system of the ipad isn't the same as PC's or Macs so common viruses don't run on them.
The only thing you need to be aware of is protecting your info....Go to a bad site and enter your info and you're just as vulnerable as you would be on a computer. So the device isn't vulnerable to anything but user actions.

Can email be password protected on the Ipad 2?

Can email be password protected on an Ipad 2?

Not independently of the whole iPad - which can have a passcode added to protect everything.
Alternatively, access your email through webmail in Safari then you can log-out when finished.

Is there virus protection for the iPad

Is there virus protection for the iPad2, and if not will there be any in the near future.

Virus protection will be available as soon as someone writes the first Virus for iOS.

Is there any way to edit an email address in the iPad mail app once it has been highlighted?

To try and clarify the above, when I type an email address in the address field, in the Mail app, and then hit the space bar, the email address becomes highlighted. If I then want to edit the email address I cannot for the life of me work out how to do it without deleting it and typing it out again.

Neither can I. I just think that is the way the app works. If there is a way, I would like to know myself.

With the recent upgrade to FF 6.0 how do we get password protection for the internet with FF back?

When our Mac was set up we had a password protected startup for FF, so without the password you could not start it.
With the recent upgrade to 6.0 that password request disappeared. How do we get it back?

Stop email checking when first entering iPad Mail app?

Whenever I enter the iPad Mail app, it automatically downloads my messages even though I have all my fetch settings set to "manual". Is there a way to disable this? I only want to fetch messages when I say so. For example, in Mac OS Mail, I check my email manually -- when I first launch the Mac OS Mail app, nothing happens until I click "Get Mail".
I'd like to have a little more control with iPad Mail. Any ideas?

even though I have all my fetch settings set to "manual"
There seems to be several places to set this ... did you set them all
to manual.
I did, and yes, I still have the problem you mention, the iPad seems
to always keep open the connection which means that it shuts out
my other devices from connection to email because of server resource
contention.
It is funny that the email should be designed this way. It ought to
be fully manual because of the nature of the use of the device, and
the nature of the intermittent wifi connections. There is no point to
keep it open if one is moving around and the network connection keeps
going in and out, or being lost.
I like the fully manual idea, I click the mailbox I want to look at. It
shows me the mail, highlights the new ones, and then I can view or
not, and when I am done it all shuts down, freeing resouces on the
server and being a good citizen, like all Apple devices ought to be.
This is behaving like Outlook Express or something!

IPad Mail app won't auto rotate

The iPad mail app does not auto rotate on my iPad. All the other apps rotate fine. The rotation isn't locked. And yes, I am aware that if I reset or shut down the iPad, rotation will restore. However, eventually, it always ends up locked. This is a bug of some type in the operating system. Does anyone know if Apple knows about this and intends to fix it? It is extremely annoying.

I have seen other users have the same issue, but not as a recurring problem. In light of that, I don't think that Apple would consider it a bug that needs to be fixed. Perhaps, restoring your iPad from a backup, resetting all settings, or restoring to factory settings and starting all over again would help.
But if you think that it is something that needs to be fixed.....

I have a password protected Numbers document I created on my MAC and share via DROPBOX. Is there any way to simply view this doc on my IPAD without purchasing NUMBERS for the IPAD?

I use NUMBERS on my MAC to create a password protected document. I share this doc via DROPBOX. Is there any way I can view the doc on my IPAD without purchasing NUMBERS for the IPAD? The doc opened fine on the IPAD before protecting it with a password.

Using the term "opened" may have been incorrect on my part. Before password protection, I simply viewed the doc by selecting it within my DROPBOX app. No revisions could be made, but I could view the doc. Now, with the doc password protected, the IPAD states this file can not be viewed.
The IPAD users guide gives a list of files IPAD can view. Unfortunately, I find no info on how to open/view that file should it be protected. If

My iPhone 5 suddenly stopped opening the Apple Mail app. It had worked flawlessly for years, but just stopped. It worked on my iPad, and of course on the computer. What's going on, and how do I fix it? I've turned the phone on and off several times, soft reset several times. There was no change in any settings when this happened, nor any new apps were added. Thank you for any help you can give.

Does it not work either way? Sending and receiving? Did you check the settings and make sure that nothing has changed? If you can receive email, but not send it, check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones

Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
cheers
Tom

They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
Not a great solution.
Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.
