Set one mail account set to manual fetch, but now autofetches automatically

I have a iPhone 3GS and upgraded to OS 4 the other day. I have four email accounts on my phone. I have three set to autofetch every 15 minutes and the fourth account (which is email I use for spam and to sign up for stuff) is set to manually retrieve. I just don't want to be notified everytime I get some crap email. Wasn't a problem prior to the OS 4 update. It would check everytime i opened up the email app, but not otherwise.
I have the settings the same as before with other accounts set to fetch every 15 minutes and the account (a Yahoo acct) set to manual fetch only. I also make sure that the email app is closed (i.e. not running in the background as OS 4 allows.) Still, it seems to fetch like all the others and is incredibly annoying.
Any fixes?

I am also having an issue with my iPhone 4 mail client.
Prior to upgrading to the 4 from my 3GS, the Mail app would only download new mail when prompted to manually (ie, on app launch or on manual check).
Currently, all settings indicate that mail is set to fetch only manually, yet is downloaded 100% of the time without prompting when launching any of the following apps:
Yelp
Phone
iPod
It launches intermittently with any of the following apps (between 50% and 75% of the time):
Facebook
Photos
Camera
Tron
Breakspin
Wikipedia
Messages
The mail app also randomly downloads intermittently, without any prompting from myself as a user.
I have checked, rechecked, and triplechecked the settings. Push is off, fetch is set to manual in all applicable locations, and I have rebooted and reset the phone. I've even gone so far as to restore from a backup, to no avail.
My accounts are checking from MobileMe and from a personal (non-Yahoo, non-AT&T) e-mail account.
This is, needless to say, most frustrating.
Apple, any chance of a bit of feedback, here?

I had to change my password on my email password, but went to my setting under mail accounts and it is grey and I am unable to update it there. Can someone tell what I can do? This on an iPad2.

If the word "Off" is sort of cloudy and the settings are greyed out - that means you do not have restrictions enabled - but just in case - do you use a passcode to lock the iPad?
Exactly what message are you getting and where are you getting the message - what does the "email icon" mean?

Had problem with my hotmail account and had to change my password. Ever since then, my default e-mail account set up to hotmail doesn't work...it sends from gmail. How can I correct that?

On your iPhone you need to change your password in 2 places:
- Incoming Mail Server and
- Outgoing Mail Server
To get to the password entry for the Outgoing Mail Server you have to tap on cell smtp.live.com and again on the second view.

TS3367 I have 3 apple systems.. Mac, Macpro, and IPad.. I have a seperate e-mail account set up of each but facetime is still acting like it is calling itself on the Mac.. do you have to have seperate appleID on each system?

You don't need 3 separate Apple IDs, but you do need to set up each device with a unique email address for Facetime to communicate between the devices. You can go to Settings > Facetime and add another email address for each device.

My wife and I each have an Ipad and only one mail account. Both of us receive the same e-mails but when one of us deleates an e-mail it also deleates on the other Ipad. How can I stop this? I might delete an e-mail she wants to read. Thanks

My wife and I each have an Ipad and use only one mail account. Both Ipads therefore get the same mail and when either one of us deleates an email it also deleates on the other Ipad and this can be a problem if one of us doesn't want that e-mail deleted. Obviously our Ipads are synced and I don't know how to correct this. Any advice ?

If you both have the same email account, there's no setting on iPad you can use. When a message is deleted, it's deleted from the mail account server, which will happen on both devices.

Limiting notifications to only one mail account

i have one inbox, in it i have mobileme and gmail, but i only want to see dock notifications for the mobileme account, whats the best way?
thank you
Max

To be sure I get it.... I'm not thinking about profile where you have you own setup on the device. I'm only talking about the situation, where you are syncing with more than one mail account and you want to set up a password for only one account and not the other (or the rest of Apps and/or funtionallity on the deivce).

The default priority setting in Mail is set to "normal" and is causing emails I send to be sent with red priority flag. How can I set default priority to low = no flag?

I have found the flags to reduce the priorty level manually to "low Priorty", but how can I set default priority to low = no flag?
Thank you for advising,

Try deleting the .plist.
Quit the application.
In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Terminal.
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
You will need to do that after any updates.

Send messengers from More then one mail account...

Hi
I have more then one mail account in mail - one for private, one for work 1 and one for work 2. I want to avoid that I send a message via the wrong mail account to a person that I don't want to show that I have other mail accounts.
Is it possible to make some kind of rule that says if I send to [email protected] mail will only use mail account 1 and if I would like to send a message to [email protected] it will only use mail account 2?
I hope you understand my question
Best Lars Kudsk

It's not possible to set a rule based on recipient-since rules are only processed on incoming messages or at least those in your inbox..
You can set the default account in Mail preferences, beyond that, you just have to double check to make sure the correct account is selected.

I first thought the Ipad would be used by my wife so I set up her email account. She didn't use it that much so I did and set up my accounts and took her off. Now when I send an email it shows her address as the sending party - how do I fix this

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

Reset your iPad and see if that helps.
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.

Why do photos included in Mail messages appear out of orientation, but straighter out automatically upon hitting reply?

On occasion, pictures that are attached to Apple e mail messages are out of orientation, but straighten out automatically when I hit reply. Any ideas out there?

Mail Account set to Manual, Checks Automatically

I'm using the iPhone 3g (2.1 FW) with 2 mail accounts. One is a POP account which I have set to manual, the other is a Gmail account that I have set to check every 15 minutes.
The phone seems to be checking both automatically.
I have read in other threads that simply opening the Mail app is considered the trigger to a manual check. I can live with that. (Though it should not be that way.)
But I am occasionally receiving mail in the account that is on manual, even when the Mail app is not running.

I am also having an issue with my iPhone 4 mail client.

Bug in OS 3.0: mail accounts set to "Manual" are pushed at bootup

I keep my iPhone's mail accounts on "Manual" access only, so that I'm not overwhelmed with email during the day. I also use MobileMe, and I have my contacts and calendars set to "Push." This combination is possible in:
Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Fetch New Data -> Advanced
In OS 2.2.1 and below, this combination worked as expected: contacts and calendar items are pushed via MobileMe, and mail is retrieved only when entering the Mail app. It also works as expected in OS 3.0, except ...
... when the phone is rebooted. At reboot, all mail accounts are pushed, as if the OS is overlooking my "Manual" setting. I've reported the problem to Apple via the iPhone feedback form, but I thought it prudent to mention it here as well, since it's repeatable and others may notice the problem as well and search for it.

Just wanted to keep this alive. Whenever we restart either my 3GS phone or my wife's 3G they make an immediate mail check and download any emails. Both phones are set to manual for mail checks and we use Me.com for all of our email. With the 3G phone, it was originally mine and before the 3.0 software upgrade it never did this. So I'm going to chalk it up to the 3.0 and believe that some future update will address this.
