Re: Help needed to set native Mail app not to refresh while using it

[Alan Lemly]

Thanks Joseph, Richard, and James. I didn't even consider that and I'm currently using the Mail app with airplane mode turned on and will report back if I get the desired result. I'm also surprised Apple didn't suggest this which is why I have more faith in lists like this one to get the correct answers.  Alan  Sent from my iPhone On Nov 21, 2024, at 3:52 PM, James Bentley <bentleyj1...@gmail.com> wrote:  Would using airplane mode stop new mail from coming in?   James B     From: 'Richard Turner' via VIPhone <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2024 3:29 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Help needed to set native Mail app not to refresh while using it   What about turning off both cellular and wi-fi so it cannot grab new mail.       Richard, “Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.” – Jane Wagner, from The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe.   My web site: https://www.turner42.com       From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Alan Lemly Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2024 1:08 PM To: 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.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
