On an iPhone 6 - STOP automatic email download?

RE: iPhone 6, iOS 11.0.3


How do I stop automatic download of emails? 😕

In other words, I want email download ONLY when I manually say so, like normal email clients.


A Google search came up with confusing instructions with choices NOT on iPhone 6.

Settings>Account & Passwords tap on last option (download new data).

Disable PUSH, and set every account to MANUAL.

Then in Download (at the end of the page) set AUTOMATICALLY

The emails sent to your accounts will download only when you open the app.
