My web site: https://www.turner42.com From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> > On Behalf Of Alan Lemly Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2024 1:08 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Help needed to set native Mail app not to refresh while using it Hello List, I will start by saying I’ve talked with Apple Accessibility, Apple Care, and Apple Support on this issue without success in achieving my goal. I use the native Mail app to read and delete between 100 to 300 emails a day. When I’m using the native Mail app, I want it to refresh and provide me with my current Inbox messages when I first open it but I don’t want it to refresh again while I’m using the app. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been deleting an email that a refresh occurs causing the message with focus to change and my deleting the wrong message as a result. I’ve been into the Mail app settings for my Gmail account and have been unable to figure out what combination of settings achieves what I want. Turning off Push doesn’t do it and setting fetch to manual doesn’t do it. I’m using an iPhone 13 Mini running iOS 18.1.1 and would welcome any suggestions. I would encourage you before making a setting suggestion to make sure yours is set the same and go into the native Mail app for a bit to ensure new messages aren’t arriving with the setting. Thanks in advance for any help. Alan Lemly -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
