Accounts

The Accounts section lets you set up accounts on iPod touch. The specific settings
that appear depend on the type of account you’re setting up. Your service provider or
system administrator should be able to provide the information you need to enter.

For more information, see:

Â

Adding Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts” on page 20

Â

Adding Contacts” on page 175

Â

Subscribing to Calendars” on page 110

Change an account’s settings: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an account,
then make the changes you want.

Changes you make to an account’s settings on iPod touch aren’t synced to your
computer, so you can configure your accounts to work with iPod touch without
affecting the account settings on your computer.
Stop using an account service: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an account,
then turn an account service (such as Mail, Calendars, or Notes) off.
If an account service is off, iPod touch doesn’t display or sync information with that
account service until you turn it back on.
Adjust advanced settings: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an account,
then do one of the following:

Â

To set whether drafts, sent messages, and deleted messages are stored on iPod touch or
remotely on your email server (IMAP accounts only),
tap Advanced and choose Drafts
Mailbox, Sent Mailbox, or Deleted Mailbox.
If you store messages on iPod touch, you can see them even when iPod touch isn’t
connected to the Internet.

Â

To set how long before messages are removed permanently from Mail on iPod touch, tap
Advanced and tap Remove, then choose a time: Never, or after one day, one week, or
one month.

Â

To adjust email server settings, tap Host Name, User Name, or Password under
Incoming Mail Server or Outgoing Mail Server. Ask your network administrator or
Internet service provider for the correct settings.

Â

To adjust SSL and password settings, tap Advanced. Ask your network administrator or
Internet service provider for the correct settings.

Delete an account from iPod touch: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an
account, then scroll down and tap Delete Account.
Deleting an account means you can no longer access the account with your
iPod touch. All email and the contacts, calendar, and bookmark information synced
with the account are removed from iPod touch. However, deleting an account doesn’t
remove the account or its associated information from your computer.
