Rotating Touch in Mail

Does anyone know if the Accelerometer (An accelerometer detects when you rotate iPod touch from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display, so you immediately see the entire width of a web page) works in Mail? When I rotate my Ipod during mail, nothing happens. It works fine in Safari, coverflow, etc. It would be nice if I could rotate in mail as well as it would make for easier reading.
Thanks!

While rotation does not work in Mail as such, the "viewer" does rotate in Mail. For example, the app itself and email messages do not rotate, but if you open an attachment (.pdf, .doc, .xls) you CAN rotate and zoom in the viewer that opens. But note that I did find that .HTML and .TXT attachments do NOT open a viewer--they are displayed as part of the message--so you cannot rotate these.
I was playing around trying to figure out what would be the best way to view eBooks given that there is currently no eBook reader available for the IPT, and I observed the above. For most things, I found that plain old text saved as .txt files as attachments work well. If you need formatting and/or images, then .PDF or .DOC files are probably your best solution at this time.

    I don't think you can. You need to open them in Preview or some other photo editing application.

  • When i touch the mail icon the widow disapears 3 sec after,it is impossible to delete the mails!!

    I use iTunes to update the iPad program and everytime it's appear a network error 5 mn after the start!!
    How can i resolve this failure?

    Try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My iPad screen will not rotate in the mail program but works fine in safari and star walk apps, any ideas ?

    Has anyone had the same problem and does anyone have a suggested fix.

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it rotates when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My ipad will not rotate when in mail. Can anyone help please?

    My I Pad will not rotate when I am in Mail. It is fine in safari and all the other apps. Can anyone help.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • IPod touch and mail syncing

    I thought I saw a video on Apple's site showing that you could organize mail on the touch and it would show those changes on your computer. For example, if I delete a message on the touch, it will be deleted on my computer. Is this possible? It seems kind of redundant to have to go through the same messages twice. Thanks for any help with this issue.

    You can try this to see. Plug your iPod touch in the computer. When iTunes pops up and you're on the iPod preference screen, click info. Scroll down to the Mail section and check to sync your e-mail. After that's done, go to the Mail app on your iPod touch. It should display the inbox. There is a button on the upper left that says Mailbox. You're folders should be synced (not sure about Smart Folders, but I think it should).

  • Ipod touch 32GIG - Mail Issue

    Hi!
    I'm having trouble with the Mail client on the iPod Touch. My settings are correct for my mail service but I keep getting the message:
    Cannot Get Mail
    The connection to the server
    "pop.cogeco.ca" failed.
    Has anyone been able to figure this out?
    Thanks:
    Martin

    Here's one shot in the dark suggestion. When I had similar connection problems I noticed that the port number as shown in Thunderbird on Windows was different than the Server Port number on my iPod in the mail configuration advanced settings.
    When these port numbers matched my mail connections were resolved.

  • Artist name changes when rotating touch

    I have my own MP3 library that I put on my touch. When I play a song in portrait mode it displays the artist and song name correctly but when I rotate into landscape mode the artist name is wrong (song name is still correct). I'm pretty sure this was not a problem before my upgrade to 2.1. Anyone else experience this.

    I am having a similar problem.  I purchased (actually "completed") an album that I had already purchased one song from (as a single).  There are 13 songs in total on the album.  The single I had already purchased is still listed under the original single.  This I sort of expected, and I think I know how to fix it from iTunes on my PC by simply modifying the song info to match the new album.  For now, on my iPhone, under new album listing, I see 11 of the 13 songs listed, and they all play fine.  The problem stems from the very last song on the CD.  There is a second artist who sings on that song (i.e. a duet).  So in my Music app, this song is listed under a different "artist".  From the artist view, it correctly says there is 1 album, and 1 song.  Unfortunately, when I click on that artist, I don't see the song that is supposed to be listed there.  I see a repeat of the same 11 songs listed over in the other "single artist" area.  But if I actually click on ANY of the 11 songs listed, it always PLAYS the 1 correct song, no matter which of the 11 song titles I select.  The "advance to next song" button doesn't even work (it is ignored).  I tried deleting that bogus artist from my iPhone, and re-downloaded that 1 song from the iTunes store on my phone (hit the little cloud button), but it just put everything back the way it was.  I'm guessing I will have to restore my iPhone from scratch tonight.  Oh Joy.  I will report back once I figure out how to fix my problem.  Hopefully it will help you with yours.

  • Ipod touch lost--mail app accessed

    bummed. so whoever found my ipod touch has accessed my email account and has deleted some of my emails. i changed my password, so will that prevent them from continuing to log-on automatically? using yahoo mail and changed my password from my main computer, so the password would have to be reset in the mail app settings also to access, correct?

    Well, if to haven't found your itouch yet, there might be hope! If the person that got the mail app sent a message on your mail, you MAY be able to track the ip address of where it was sent from! If not, you could try to change your password back then try to send an email to your account from another account and see if you can somehow get the person to respond which you could then track back using the ip address. You didn't say you did, but if you have a gmail account on the iPod, there is a simpler way to do it!

  • IPOD TOUCH & APPLE MAIL ACCOUNT

    I Updated software to 4.0 on my 8 GB IPod Touch and when I did the apple mailbox on the touch does not show the sent, trash or junk folders.
    How do I get them back? Now all I show in the Apple mail account is the in box.
    This however is not true of my Yahoo Account. It kept all 17 folders that I have in that account including the sent, trash & junk folders.

    I have the same issue. At least we know it not just us. I did have issues when upgrading. My iPod immediately went through a restore after installing the upgrade but couldn't complete due to an error. Couldn't sync music due to "could not be found". Restarted the computer and it solved that problem. Don't know if I can restore but don't need to now.
    Supposedly another update is coming this week to fix the bugs. Then another will release to fix the new bugs and so on. Such is life with software.

  • My mail is set up but when I touch the mail icon the screen is blank with a message saying 'no message selected' then goes straight to home page. I have rebooted, deleted and reloaded my email account but nothing is working.

    My mail is set up and it comes up with 75 messages received but when I click onto the mail icon the page is blank(White) with the message 'no message selected' and then goes to the homepage.  I have rebooted the iPad and deleted and reloaded my mail account but nothing works.

    The app is crashing for some reason - maybe an email with a very large attachment or some crappy spam email is messing things up. Quit the mail app.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close mail by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the mail app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close it.  Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If mail still crashes, go to your webmail in a browser and see if you have an email in there that might be causing a problem and delete it. Then try the app again. If necessary, quit the app, restart the iPad and then try again.
    If that doesnt help, try a reset. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
