:
If you turn off Push here, then it's off for all your accounts, regardless of account-spe-
cific settings (as described below). You must turn on Push here if you want to use push for
any account.
1. To set different fetch/push behavior for a particular account, tap an account
name. Then tap the type of mail retrieval you want for that the account—Fetch,
Push, or Manual (the available options depend on the mail server's capabilities).
If you select Push, you can also select which mailbox(es) you want messages
pushed to—the default is Inbox only, but if you have server-side rules sorting
messages into other mailboxes, you may want to push those as well.
Tap Fetch New Data to return to the previous screen.
2. Under Fetch, set the default mail-checking frequency for accounts that don't
support push, for when the global Push setting is Off, or for when an individual
account is set to use fetch:
▪ Every 15 Minutes, Every 30 Minutes, Hourly: Connect to each ac-
count at the chosen interval to check for new messages.
▪ Manually: Don't fetch in the background at all; connect only when
you open Mail, when you switch to a particular account, or when you
use the pull-to-refresh gesture in Mail.
The revised settings take effect immediately.
Add Multiple Addressees Manually
When you're addressing a new outgoing message, you can use autocomplete to add address-
ees from your Contacts list. But if you manually type (or paste) an email address, Mail doesn't
turn it blue to let you know it's complete, and it's not obvious how you go about adding an-
other address—typing a space doesn't work, and the comma key doesn't even appear on the
keyboard.
The trick is to tap Return after typing or pasting an email address. That turns the address
blue and adds a comma, so you can enter the next address.
Handle Attachments
Mail in iOS 7 can handle most incoming and outgoing attachments easily, if not quite as con-
veniently as in Mavericks.
