How can I change the settings on my iPhone 5 so that I get new emails automatically? Without having to open the mail app.
Thanks!
iPhone 5
Go to Settings, Mail, Contacts, and Calendars. Select Fetch New Data. From there, select the interval you want to check mail. If you want to still use manual for one account and fetch for others (if you have multiple accounts on the phone) go to Advanced, and select the individual accounts.
So if I want it to automatically get my emails for all 3 of my accounts on my iPhone I go to all the accounts and change it to fetch?
No, they will all follow the default setting. If you want them all to fetch, for example every 15 minutes, then set it to 15 minutes in Fetch. I only mentioned the other if you wanted to leave one for manual. I have an account on my phone that is a POP account that I get mail at home from. I let my home computer get this mail, but when I am out of town, I pick it up with the iPhone. That one is set to manual.
I changed the setting to every 15 minutes. So now every 15 mins it will check for new mail and notify me?
That is correct! 🙂
Thanks !

You're welcome.
